Annex 2:
GBM: Summary of Recommendations For Consideration in National Education Blueprint
For Press Conference upon 17/10/12, 11am, KLSCAH
1. The mission of credentials in a republic should target during releasing as good as empowering capabilities, office building methodical abilities, instilling confidence in a individual's mental as good as earthy prowess, as good as providing a skills as good as believe as good as spiritual as good as reliable concerns that will capacitate a particular to turn a self-motivating representative of change, portion a most appropriate interests of a particular as good as a community.
2. Initiatives in formulation as good as doing contingency be formed upon a National Philosophy of Education (FPK), an integrated tutorial process as good as core values-based curriculum; towards a progressive republic office building that encompasses human, earthy as good as eremite aspects.
3. Implement a balanced curriculum so as to achieve a aspirations of JERI (jasmani, emosi, rohani, intelek) ! as state d in a National Philosophy of Education. The tyro comment complement contingency be holistic as good as integrated; as comment of learning, comment for guidance as good as comment as learning.
4. The curriculum of schools should be subjected to unchanging hearing to safeguard that they have been effective in raising a egghead levels of their target groups as good as help in a production of learners that have a flexible mindsets to reply creatively as good as rapidly to changing amicable as good as market needs. At a core of a curriculum should be beliefs as good as practices that nurture a oddity as good as beginning of a learners, as good as motivate them to constantly ask questions.
5. Vernacular, eremite as good as private schools contingency be concerned in programs that foster inhabitant integration such as joint co-curricular activities with inhabitant schools.
6. The curriculum of History, Geography as good as alternative subjects should provide competent believe of all different parts as good as vital civilizations of a universe as good as a various racial groups in Malaysia.
7. The doing of story as a theme in lower forms as good as as a compulsory pass theme for SPM should be delayed until key reforms have been done to a existent story curriculum as good as content books.
8. Learning of languages in serve to a National Language, English, Chinese as good as Tamil should be facilitated by a Ministry. Appreciation of multiculturalism as good as human farrago should be included in a curriculum, either upon a own or as part of a little humanities courses. This would help learners to examine their attitudes toward alternative racial groups as good as sense about a dynamics of prejudice as good as injustice as good as how to understanding with them in a classroom.
9. The concentration of credentials should go over a feat of a tip learners to ring a advancement or swell of weaker learners as good as a whole cohort group of learners as much as possible. Sc! hools sh ould be tasked to reduce a series of drop-outs or under-achievers as good as supposing with competent await in resources.
10. Special await should also be since to disadvantaged children. While a little middle- as good as upper-class relatives can pierce to a improved propagandize area to safeguard that their young kids attend a improved schools, such choices have been usually denied to lower income as good as rural-based parents. This has inhibited upward amicable mobility for a poorer groups. Instead of addressing these inequalities during a later theatre through racial formed affirmative movement measures, it would be some-more productive to empower all relatives with a preference to name a propagandize for their young kids as good as to channel some-more money as good as resources to schools where a disadvantaged young kids have been enrolled.
11. Primary as good as pre-school credentials should be allocated aloft per capita funding, to capacitate each tyro to acquire basic skills. More state-run pre-school institutions should be set up to safeguard universal access. Children of lower income relatives or alternative disadvantaged groups including foreigners as good as stateless should suffer free or subsidized pre-school education. Primary as good as pre-school credentials should capacitate a clever basic credentials in reading, writing as good as counting that will capacitate all young kids to serve rise these skills during aloft levels.
12. Every propagandize should suffer competent monetary aid such that even those with very low enrolment in sparely populated areas have been not marginalized. Reduction of drop-outs as good as under-achievers should be done a key performance indicator (KPI) in a analysis of schools.
13. All credentials streams be it vernacular, eremite or private, should be famous as interrelated as good as should be entitled to monetary as good as alternative support.
14. The plans lacks a substantive gender perspective. A gender equivalence! perspec tive should overcome in each aspect of a blueprint. It is unsuitable that most courses offering to women in a TVET courses have been of traditional subjects such as beauty as good as hairdressing.
15. Comprehensive tutorial streams ranging from first schools to universities, such as Chinese Language high schools as good as colleges, English Primary as good as Secondary schools, Tamil Language Primary as good as Secondary schools, Iban Language Primary as good as Secondary schools, as good as Kadazan Dusun Primary Secondary schools should be allowed according to a direct of parents, supposing that no changes should be done to a existent streams of school.
16. Official recognition should be accorded to Chinese independent schools as good as their United Examination Certificate that is already famous in most alternative countries.
17. Technical as good as vocational credentials precision institutions should be upgraded as good as their standing enhanced. Government TVET should be promoted as good as implmented in all languages to all communities so that relatives as good as young kids have a wider preference of education.
18. A pure as good as design one after another resource contingency be written to guess a demographic expansion as good as parental preferences in propagandize planning.
19. A pure as good as design resource should be determined to establish allocation of propagandize growth supports receiving in to comment both consequence as good as need as good as to minimize taste as good as unjustified discretion.
20. A short as good as long-term plan should be done to train competent teachers for schools of all credentials streams especially those hitherto marginalized or disadvantaged - receiving in to comment their projected growth. Where relevant, a categorical medium of direction for teacher precision should be in a mother tongue denunciation of a target learners.
21. Special courtesy should be since to office building second denunciation t! eaching not just in English but also in Malay as good as Chinese as good as alternative critical languages to safeguard a most appropriate interests of a non-native speakers in a respective credentials streams.
22. The denunciation used to learn subjects be it during primary, delegate or tertiary turn should be formed upon a effectiveness in credentials as good as a preference of learners/parents. The explain that first propagandize learners' inclination in Mathematics as good as Science can be improved by switching to a use of a English denunciation to learn a dual latter subjects is not an determined fact. Rather a deterioration of standards in Mathematics as good as Science contingency be accepted in a context of a altogether decrease in tutorial standards in Malaysia.
23. Any switch of denunciation contingency be preceded by thorough credentials in providing support, to safeguard that a learners' capability to sense is not adversely affected. The mislay class should not be abolished until reforms have been done in non-native denunciation teaching as good as help is since in reducing propagandize dump outs. The supervision should carry out a comprehensive investigate upon stream mislay classes as good as introduce reforms to improve their standards instead of abolishing it.
24. Public examinations should not be run in a black-box manner. The hearing authorities contingency tell technical reports to denote transparency as good as burden in open examination, particularly high interest exams such as SPM, STPM, as good as Matriculation exams. The stream privacy underpinning inhabitant comment systems is counter-productive to raising tutorial standards.
25. Public credentials is over centralized with a constitutional energy upon credentials usually inside of a sovereign government. The shortcoming for use delivery should be devolved to state as good as internal governments. Moreover, use delivery decisions as good as functions can be serve delegated to a turn of a school. This wil! l capaci tate a some-more responsive proceed to internal village tutorial conditions.
26. Education should be done a Concurrent Subject in a Ninth Schedule of a Federal Constitution so that credentials becomes a margin of shortcoming of State Governments as good as a internal authorities underneath them with a Federal Government playing usually a coordinating, facilitating as good as understanding role.
27. Local or state governments as good as schools should be empowered to establish their own priorities as good as to rise their own propagandize reforms to improve teaching as good as learning. Issues of supervision capacity, funding, as good as complement await contingency be reformed to comprehend a positive potential of decentralization. The decentralization measure would pierce decision-making closer to a people as good as give them greater say in schooling decisions as good as greater capability to hold use providers accountable. Empirical research justification has shown that augmenting parental impasse as good as appearance in propagandize governance, giving teachers a right to name their own textbooks, as good as extenuation propagandize directors a management to recruit teachers all contribute definitely to tutorial quality.
28. Teachers have been pillars of an credentials complement as good as as such they contingency be lerned to use as good as habitualise a true concept of an educator, entirely await a National Philosophy of Education as good as implements teaching professionalism.
29. The recruitment as good as graduation of teachers as good as comparison officials contingency be usually formed upon consequence as good as qualification. Having any explicit or implicit quotas is irrational as good as self-defeating as a nation's younger generation will afterwards be denied a tutelage of a brightest minds.
30. The supervision contingency take stern movement to residence a growing complaint of injustice as good as eremite prejudice in schools. The base causes of a! miss of inhabitant togetherness in schools needs to be determined through independent as good as rigorous research as good as not simply attributed to a existence of vernacular schools teaching in a mother tongue language.
31. Students' character have been greatly shabby by their parents, a mass-media as good as enlightenment of multitude as good as organizations. Their negative impacts contingency be minimized. As such components of non-formal credentials (parents, community, political leaders, mass media, supervision agencies) contingency work together, strengthening one another; as good as not otherwise. Programs that foster healthy as good as systematic enlightenment contingency be maximized; programs that foster hedonistic as good as impassioned enlightenment contingency be minimized.
