Education Malaysia for Students

Malay Mail Online: Malaysians who have higher academic qualifications are unlikely to struggle with higher living costs, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today. He added that most Malaysians struggling now is because they only have formal schooling up to SPM or Form Five at most and lacked skills that could land them better-paying jobs. “One of the biggest reasons for high living costs pressures is because the people still have low education levels. “If we only have SPM qualification and do not have a diploma, degree or skills, we won't be able to get jobs that pay well,” Najib said in the Dewan Rakyat. One crucial fact he forgot to mention yet everyone knows better than him: GST's implementation is the direct factor contributing to the recent rise in living costs.

Erican Professional Upskilling of English Language Teachers (Pro-ELT) programme The Star Online: The 15,000 English teachers, who were found ill-equipped to teach the subject, have been sent for training, said Deputy Education Minister Chong Sin Woon. “We have been sending these teachers for training since 2013,” said Chong, referring to the Professional Upskilling of English Language Teachers (Pro-ELT) programme. Teachers who failed to obtain the desired scores in the Cambridge Placement Test and British Council’s Aptis English test, he said, would be sent to training for six months. How did these English teacher graduates and get hired as English teachers in the first place? As a result of the sliding proficiency, the ministry, he said, had reversed its policy to teach Mathematics and Science in English in 2012. “Schools are given more freedom now. Those which are ready, can choose to teach in English. My final wish is to see all schools adopting the English medium

Malay Mail Online: A public university is selling an anti-hysteria kit comprising everyday items like chopsticks, salt, lime, vinegar, pepper spray, and formic acid for a whopping RM8,750 that it claims can ward off “evil spirits”. Several local Malay dailies reported today Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) as saying that the kit, which took three years to produce, was created to address hysteria afflicting young students, typically a condition of exaggerated or uncontrollable emotions.[...] This is not the first time UMP has snatched headlines for its apparent interest and research in supernatural elements.

Utusan Online: Ahli Parlimen pembangkang meminta supaya program matrikulasi dihapuskan meskipun sistem berkenaan telah terbukti berkesan sebagai persediaan kepada pelajar golongan bumiputera sebelum melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat ijazah pertama. Dr. Siti Mariah Mahmud (PAN-Kota Raja) berkata, program berkenaan sepatutnya digantikan de­ngan tingkatan enam sahaja meman­da­ng­kan pelajar daripada program tersebut masih tidak cukup matang untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat universiti. “Saya mahu membawa cadangan mengenai tingkatan enam, sebagai bekas pensyarah selama 14 tahun di universiti, saya dapat membezakan kualiti pelajar yang datang daripada tingkatan enam dan matrikulasi. “Saya sedar matrikulasi adalah jalan pintas untuk meningkatkan jumlah pelajar bumiputera di universiti berbanding tingkatan enam, adakah kerajaan melihat semula kerelevanan sistem ini, biarkan ada satu tingkatan enam sahaja yang menghasilkan penuntut lebih matang dan bersedia ke universiti,” katanya.

This is the last year of KPM Bursary for SPM students. Next year onwards there will not be any KPM Bursary for SPM 2016 students.

The Star Online: Chinese students are encouraged to take the SPM Chinese Literature papers, which is deemed easier to score compared to the Chinese Language subject. Deputy Education Minister II Chong Sin Woon (pic) said Chinese Literature was not popular among the students due to the lack of attention given to the subject. However, he considered the subject an easier one to score A+ because students only have to study several books. The SPM A+ mentality, reinforced by Malaysia Deputy Education Minister. While promoting students to take a less popular subject is not necessary a bad thing, the argument that SPM Sesusasteraan Cina is easier than SPM Bahasa Cina because you just need to "study several books" is not only less convincing but also problematic.
