Guidance begins at home

I REFER to the letters “But what about STEM?” and “Streaming should continue” (The Star, Oct 19) and Siti Kasim’s article “Malaysian education: Are we up the stream?” (Sunday Star, Oct 20).

I’m tickled by the sheer sense of panic from the writers but I understand and relate to the situation. I believe there are several deeper reasons underlying this “panic” and I feel compelled to highlight them.
