Facts about education reform


SINCE the abrupt resignation of Dr Maszlee Malik as education minister, plenty has been said and written about the education system in Malaysia. Everyone seems to have a general idea on what is wrong with it and how to fix it. But do they?

If you were to conduct a Google search on education reform in Malaysia, you would come across numerous opinion pieces, some of which are shared widely, that supposedly represent the truth. Therein lies a fundamental problem with the discussion on Malaysia’s education reform – the lack of genuine, in-depth research employing verified methodologies by professionals. This is ironic because most of the opinion pieces and criticisms claim that our education system should be more “science-based”.
