Hishammuddin says Malaysia’s education system ranks very high
Posted by omong on December 25, 2006
When viewed in the context of our achievements vis-a-vis the other Commonwealth countries, it is heartening to note that our education system ranks very high in key indicators among our peers who share the same legacy, colonial past and system.
In the recent report by the Commonwealth Secretariat, Malaysia ranked very high in terms of our literacy rate and also participation rate at all levels of education.
It is, therefore, crucial that everybody appreciates the fact that we need not start from scratch. We have to build on these strong fundamentals, adjust where necessary, reform where needed and re-engineer what is not working.

Read the strong fundamentals:
lecturers in public universities weak in English
Malaysia’s education system producing unemployable graduates
significant percentage of Malaysian undergraduates are not ready for degrees
Teaching of Science, Mathematics in English. Five years on – and still not up to mark « omong said

Yes he is right in saying “When viewed in the context of our achievements vis-a-vis the other Commonwealth countries” who are all 3rd world countries with unsound political, economic and socialfoundations.My question is whether we want to be ranked as among the best of the worst.
