PT3. Say what....?

Congratulations are in order for those who did well for their PT3. I'm sure you have worked very hard to score those As and i sincerely wish you all the best for your future endeavours. However, i must convey my heartfelt condolences to the students of Malaysia. It seems like they are on yet another experimental educational journey headed by the captain of the moment. I’ve been there and gone through all that. Honestly, i don't see the reason why our politicians need to jeopardise the future of our junior citizens with their trial-and-error ways with our education system. Stop looking at our students as children. Look at them as the future; the future of Malaysia. They are not pawns to make your political crotch look bigger. They are the ones who will keep Malaysia “Malaysia”. They are the ones you will be leaving your legacy to. I'll just be frank. At the moment, in my opinion, our education system sucks big time and it's no secret. I can’t blame the ‘herd’ of students.I blame the system. The education system in Malaysia is so fickle that even our politicians opt for private schools for their own children (or to simply send them overseas). I supposed after securing the education of their own off-springs, they are free to experiment with whoever is left behind. I remember a talk i had with a certain "somebody" when i was away. He advised us (off the record, of course) to never come back -for our own sakes. Mind you, this came from a man who just moments ago gave a ‘heartfelt’ speech telling us to come back and share our experience and expertise back home. Yes, this took place when the government was campaigning for our foreign experts to come back. So i guess it's safe to say that whatever doubt i had for our education system was pretty much confirmed. My take on this matter? Stop experimenting! We are obviously not ready to device our own system –not yet. Adopt from those with established and recognized institutions like Japan, Britain or Singapore. If you're scared of losing our identity and culture, make sure cultural education is made compulsory to learn and to pass. We lose one boasting right but we gain better or higher quality education. Unlike now, where you keep changing and messing up the blueprint and you complain about the quality of our graduates.
