Local Education with Global Standards

by Dr. KJ John

SINCE a initial Global Environment Gatherings, right away called a Green Summits, a final a single held in Rio, a word "think tellurian as great as action local" has become their activation momentum.

But a most critical complaint confronting a universe today is a pithy discrepancy between a "espoused theories as great as their theories-in-use".

We in Malaysia have been no exception. We espouse to all kinds of theories of life as great as living as great as execute living during really different standards of internal truths. Our Prime Minister has promised tellurian environmental bodies which you will lead with a immature agenda. Nonetheless, you see no conflict between which statement as great as a approval for a setting up a Lynas plant in Gebeng, Pahang.

Such a lack of a firmness gap between a talk as great as travel is a biggest emanate as great as concern which you believe which a Education Blueprint contingency address, though it does not seem to do! Why do you say this?

In all schools, daily as great as though exception, any alert person can see "disintegrative actions" whether during a propagandize assembly or during a time a young kids go for their dignified as great as eremite studies. My mother objected to this, from a really initial time a oldest was told which dignified as great as sacrament have been taught differently.

My question to all as great as sundry is: how does a single separate probity from sacrament or eremite knowledge? For example, some of my young kids took a Religious Knowledge course for SPM (Form Five). What they learnt was in their in isolation investigate of dual books of a New Testament, a books of Acts or Luke.

They did great in a paper. But, every a single of my five kids had problems with their "moral studies," generally since they were approaching to give a supposed "correct answers," even when they do not believe which is a right answer!

So, if they really want to do great in a Moral Paper they have to do badly in a SPM. Therefore, whilst a new Education Blueprint has been launched, you would similar to to take this event to state my views about what contingency be fundament as great as radical issues to be addressed, if you have been critical about a word as great as proof complement of a "blueprint!"

Local Education

Our initial as great as delegate propagandize bulletin contingency be to rise as great as grow national unity such which by a time they have been eighteen years old, you will not have "accusations as great as assertions about their loyalty as great as patriotism."

If you fail to do this in 12 years of education, you contingency simple admit you have failed to commence a Ministerial Responsibility. you can overtly as great as unequivocally say which my initial as great as delegate preparation did only that! My initial as great as early schooling was during a Ibrahim Primary as great as Secondary School in Sungai Petani.Then, you had a privilege of being admitted to a Federation Military College which later became a Royal Military College (RMC).

By a time you was during initial year during university, after a May thirteen riots, you a eighteen RMC boys during a First Residential College, University of Malaya organized ourselves to become a self-protection patrol since of rumours of racial! attacks .

Again, during a Mahathir-Anwar political predicament of leadership, when you was asked which side you belonged to, my reply was clear: "On a flag which you were trained to salute, there is no face of any political leaders as great as therefore you salute a ideal as great as dreams of this nation, as great as not particular personalities."

That was, to me, nationalism of a highest kind, which is not peaceful to stoop to internal personalities.

Global Standards

When you was in Primary 1 in 1957; you had an Englishman for Headmaster. Our education was universe class as great as second to none. All by delegate school, even yet you had some cartoons as great as clowns for teachers, you had a really great peculiarity of education.

Maybe you was privileged as great as did miss upon internal kampong peculiarity education. Therefore, you cannot comment upon their tangible experience. But, you certainly connected with about 99 others from via Malaysia during a RMC, as great as you found which my preparation was about a same or of similar standard with all my classmates coming from small towns as great as kampongs.

The real variations came from differences in personality, exposure as great as family as great as amicable values as great as upbringing. Even which did not stop or impede most of a students amongst us, with me not being a single of them, who scored all As in a Higher School Certificate examinations from a University of London.

My fear as great as honest view is that, it is from their time you decoupled ourselves from a University of London as great as their international standards which you have forsaken a standards as great as changed down a slippery high slope.

I believe which you have been during a really low as great as bad tu! rn now. It is time to pick ourselves up as great as essay for international standards again.

The Way Forward

Therefore, there is only a single approach forward. Make sure which a internal standards of preparation for all subjects have been universe class as great as of equal calm quality. Move away from making language only an emanate of nationalism though instead have multi-lingualism a standard for all initial as great as delegate education. Then have English a initial framework for preparation during a University level, as great as lift a preparation standards to achieve international benchmarks.

Through all of this foundational as great as aloft education, a Education Blueprint contingency place a aloft degree of importance upon probity as great as impression development so which you can become courteous multitude which does not step upon photographs or mangle a law in every other area by a tighten a single eye culture!

My knowledge with all such internal preparation with 5 young kids by a complement is which there is really little importance is upon vocalization as great as always revelation a truth. Too mostly a complement tells you to discuss it white lies even if your demur says otherwise!
