OUR Deputy Prime Minister/ Education Minister last week announced the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Competitive Index (GCI) report 2011-2012 stating that Malaysia’s quality of education ranks at number 14 out of 142 countries.
We should be proud of this accomplishment which is above many developed countries including Britain, the United States and Germany. We really should give ourselves a pat on the back for being ranked at par with these First World nations. But instead, many have voiced their concern over the misrepresentation or misinterpretation of the data by the minister.
