An education towards... ignorance?


FRANKLY speaking, I am worried. I have been watching the goings on in this country intently and I have come to two worrying conclusions.

One, more citizens in Malaysia are educated compared with, say, 30 years ago. We probably have a 1,000% more universities, schools, madrasah and other informal learning institutions. We have 1,000% more academics, teachers and tonnes of research papers being produced by the education boom. That is one side of the coin.
