Use right forums to voice out problems in education

REFERENCE is made to the video clip of a retired principal voicing his criticism of our education system during a forum organised by the Education Ministry. Firstly, I would say the forum was a good platform for the participants to air their views and offer constructive criticism and also suggestions. It certainly was not a platform to discredit the Education Minister and his officials or to criticise the minister’s plans for reforming the education system and policies.

The principal voiced his criticism over the education system but then praised himself for his achievements during his teaching and administrative career.
