Malaysia's Education Excellence Part ll: The unhappy Malaysians


Perception is good, so because is Lim Guan Eng unhappy? For someone who says he wants a best for Malaysia, Lim Guan Eng ought to be unapproachable with a way Malaysia scores a World Economic Forum's global 2011-2012 survey. We have been distant from perfect (we ranked 21st many competitive in a world, overall) though you have been up there, bros as well as sis, not down there.

Instead of congratulating his associate Malaysians, Guan Eng is indignant as well as upset. Or unhappy. With a Deputy Prime Minister, especially. How dare Muhyiddin Yasin said a peculiarity of a tertiary preparation is improved than a UK as well as Germany! But, hello, which is what a WEF census interpretation say lah. If Guan Eng is not happy, he should lodge a protest with a WEF...

I used to "process" these WEF reports as a publisher with Business Times. It was not a duty you enjoyed. But for a consequence of enlightening Guan Eng as well as Gang, I've taken out a partial in which a WEF ranks Malaysia forward of Germany as well as a UK. you have added Singapore here (although Abang Din did not mention Singapore) to assure Guan Eng which Singapore is still forward of us as well as for those who just adore to review Malaysia with Zimbabwe, you have additionally added Zimbabwe's scores here.


Malaysia: 14thGermany: 17t! hThe UK: 20th

Singapore: 2nd in a worldZimbabwe: 33rd

Once again, boys as well as girls, remember which these have been WEF's census interpretation as well as findings, not a Government of Malaysia's. For more detailed comparisons with Germany, click h e r e, as well as with a UK, here. If you would similar to to look during a entire WEF inform page by page, click h e r e.

Quality vs Quantity. The interpretation show alternative information as well. Enrollment is a subject of QUANTITY as well as not quality. The WEF inform differentiates a two.The weightage 33% is since for peculiarity as well as 33% for quantity. Take page 48 of a report: tertiary enrolment rate is 36.5 per cent. The reason is not because a peculiarity of a preparation is low, though a places during tertiary institutions have be! en singu lar as well as acknowledgment is rarely competitive. Quantity is true forward as well as formed upon tough facts/official data. WEF collected central interpretation as well as distribute scores formed upon it. The tough actuality is a enrolment rate is low so you got low measure upon quantity.

Quality, upon a alternative hand, is subjective. There is no accessible interpretation upon a altogether peculiarity of educational system. So WEF uses Executive Opinion Survey to measure quality. And a actuality is those who participated in a consult viewed a peculiarity of a educational complement as higher than which of US, Germany as well as UK. So if Guan Eng does not agree with them, take it with them.

But then again, you have to ask Guan Eng, because have been you so opposite them if they think rarely of a peculiarity of education?

Does he want people to believe which you have been not as great as you actually have been or viewed to be?
