A lot more to learn


Young voices: An international survey has found that many Malaysian students can’t beat most of their foreign counterparts in reading, mathematics and science.

THE Education Minister recently expressed shock at the poor performance of Malaysian students in the PISA 2012 survey of over 500,000 15-year-olds in 64 countries on their levels of knowledge and skills in reading, mathematics, science and problem solving.

In every single domain, we are ranked at the bottom 10% to 15% of countries surveyed.
