We need a complete overhaul of our education system, says NUTP


PETALING JAYA: Educationists are not surprised with the results of a recent study that shows that despite going to school for an average of 12 years, students get only about nine years’ worth of meaningful education.

“Time and again, we have pointed out the weaknesses in our system; our input on technical and vocational education and training, mismatch of teachers with the subjects they teach and a host of other problems – but they have not been thoroughly acted upon,” said National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) secretary-general Harry Tan (pic).
