The plight of the Malaysian Education
If you ask 10 Malaysian students about the education system here, 8 of them with say "I want to study somewhere else", the remaining 2 MUST be the dropouts.
For last year primary school students, they have to sit for a government exam, namely UPSR. Imagine a child age 12 need to cope with all this pressure. Some of us students don't give it a shit. But for those students whose parents wanting too much from them, I'm sorry because their childhood have been ruin. I admit I didn't play enough during my childhood and there is no turning back.
The system is too exam-minded which prioritise on theory and not practical. Students forced to attend tuition is a common sight. What we learn is to memorize and how to score in exam. But we do not know how to apply.
Furthermore the syllabus suck a lot, the only way to score an A is to memorize. We learned morale education, where we just memorise the values, in the end crime still happen among teenagers. For history, it seems that HALF of the topic is about Muslim. I'm not a muslim but I've to learn the facts as if I'm a muslim. We never learn world history, if yes its little. Besides that they tried to influence us to think that our colonies are bad and communist are also bad. The way they write shows too much bias. Some even change the facts. Of course, history is always full of bias. Students think that they are trying to 'brainwash' us.
Not only students, teachers' workload is as tall as Mount Everest. This is because the education ministry assigning so much useless things for them to do. It's so tough being a government school teacher that the workforce is so little. Most of them will choose to teach in a private school.
There are also some bias in the enrolment into public universities. Pre-U such as local matriculation opens to 90% malays and 10% to non-malays. And it is the main road of enrolling in public universities. Which guarantees malays in public universities. I'm disappointed that they are being feed like that. This make them becoming more lazy because they are assured a place in the universities(no racism here). This left little place left for the rest. Many opt for overseas education, and in the end MOST of them NEVER come back here.
Also, the results in public examinations are always improving. Now, loads of students getting loads of As. Of course not the student is great, but the ministry set the standard so LOW, so that the number of students getting straight As increase year by year to make seem that Malaysian students are bright. But overseas institute are not so dumb. Many struggled after getting loads of As. They know that our standard is so damn low that they don't give a damn shit even if you score a straight As, until.......you prove to them that you are genuinely GREAT.
I believe it's time for a change.

exactly, many leave and never come back. and in the future it would be better, there will be greater geographical mobility, and countries will try to attract citizens instead of opressing them
that's a good theory....
But...i don't the Government can see it...
they are too narrow minded...thinking only malays as their 1st priority...wait till they realise how precise the non malays are...they will regret...
according to my little survey,7 out of 10 students study just for the sake of Exam n 'flying color'which leads to a better future or in other word a Good Life.Their mind are cliched by a doctrine stating that 'Study well and live well'.Well,that is kinda true and wise n practical,but they deeds are not making a better world ,it is a pure selfishness!A coward intellectual!
