Some Suggestions On Education Revamps

This is definitely a positive development from the authority taking charge of education, and as usual, who will get it done? what will it be done? when will it be done? how will it be done? 

No matter what happens to politic, education shouldn't mix with politic. Education is crucial to the national development, and therefore is of national interest, or future security. It's not just the interest of a particular group, or some majority groups; it's simply a matter of people's interest.

The initiative of change should start from the recruitment of teachers (strictly based on merit, and not on quota); they must be of high quality to start with. If necessary, get some good teachers from developed nations to teach in the country so that some local teachers can learn from these foreigners too.

Secondly, take out those less competent teachers from teaching posts, and transferred them elsewhere.

Setup an independent Parent-Teacher association in each school to provide much needed feedbacks from public. The existing PTA is an internal unit of the school, and definitely not effective in improving the standard of school. (note: it renders more as rubber stamp).

A good structure with more interaction with the Board of Director & PTA in each school on the direction of school teaching methods and environment, will be the answer.

Lets' concentrate on producing good quality and regular supply of teachers, and subsequently graduates from primary and secondary schools, and then universities. Particular attention should be on the emphasis on matured teaching staffs where students are typically looking up for leadership and as a model of learning.

With quality human resources, only then our nation is ready for the challenge from the world in terms of national developments, modern businesses, agriculture, and foreign investments etc.....
Without good quality human work force, we will be continuing to rely on labour intensive industries, and subsequently, our foreign neighbours.

Let's hope that this is going to be put into action very soon as time is running out, and it could be too dearly to pay by keep hesitating on the reformation/transformation.
