I heard about the news that government will be hiring 370 English expert to monitor teaching of English in Malaysia. Looks like they are really serious implementing what they have been dreaming.
But I really hope that this won't be just like any other proposal and system that they had planned previously, Malaysian ministers are well known of changing their policy and what not. Since many years we have seen numerous changes in education system, when the minister change, a new policy, system and idea will be introduced..and after 4 short years when we can't even see the fruit of the hardwork, the new guy came in and start a revolution, he also wants to complete his portfolio...at the end teachers and student will suffer..well done..!!
I'm not in this teaching field, but as a person and mother I don't want my childrens will suffer just because of the permanent tsunami in education system, you can bet that will definitely change it every four years..:-))
I remember when I was in Convent school for eleven long and exciting years..the teachers were so good, they pronounced the word 'the' in a proper way, the deliver it in exciting manner,..they make learning English as something interesting and made you want to learn more and more on your own..back then there was no internet to google for any word that we don't know the meaning..it was just dictionary, thesaurus and magazines...
I always believe that they should train and produced a good and well verse and commmited teachers..and I'm sure they are many local experts in English rather than looking abroad...
Ohh..maybe because Kementerian Pendidikan has been given extra fund so now they can import just like what happen in our football scene many years ago..but government can save a lot if they look hard and will found gems locally...
Why waste the money on hiring someone outside and the there will be extra cost on providing houses etc for them...
I could just wait and see...hmmm

well said sue..thinking of our education system...really terrifies me to just imagine what our children will be facing in few years ahead...we as adults also can lose track on what's happening...
thanx Basirah,
just imagine they keep on changing every few years, when they can't even do a post mortem of the existing system..i believed that it takes few years or many years to do all these..
they should think thoroughly..
its sad becoz in malaysia, it is always politician who made a decision.. :-((
dats y la sue...if the politician are all educated tak pe gak...yg ni sume jd politician base on sape pandai bodek ...so we can imagine what kind of decision these people will take...
i hv been thinking this quite some time...they r conducting all kind of unnecessary surveys...y cant they conduct a survey on the education system in other developed countries....why our student choose to pursue their studies at foreign countries..what they have that we dont....ala sue kalau ckp pasal bende mcm ni kan...sakit kepala...but no sollution...the people in the position to think about this are only thinking of filling their pocket only...:(
