If you read the report, you will find something wrong of the education system in Malaysia. There is a large propotion of students could not do well, 20-25%. Thus, this portion of graduates will not be able to find jobs.
Well, why admitt these students when they cannot cope with the studies ? Or because to fill the quaotas ? Now, my belove Pak Lah has to rethink of the NEP policy which will not do any good for the country spell as MALAYSIA in the 21st century.
No doubts, i apprciated the NEP policy in the past to help to consolidate the united among the races but it is the hsitory past that Malaysia needs a stronger force to compete ion the international level.
The Education system in the counrty of 24 million people, i don't know the axct number but different websites said differnt number, has certainly gone wrong somewhere until the government is encouraging the International Schools in the country to admit 40% of the local pupils.If the International Schools could produce high quality citizens, why not the Malaysian government modalled after the system of international schools.
My questions are:
1.What are the teacher training colleges doing to train the best teachers ?
2. Wy the private schools in the country are not encourage to have the same facilities as the international schools.
3. Where have the money allocated to the small class teaching in the government schools ?
Please do not take the rakyat for a tour of their life.

Varsities must help the weak
By SIRA HABIBU
SINTOK (Kedah): Something must be done at the campuses to get bottom-placed university students to improve their language and inter-personal skills, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed.
“We are very concerned about those at the bottom 20% to 25%,” he told reporters after opening a quality management seminar at Universiti Utara Malaysia here yesterday.
“We have to do something special for them to improve their competitiveness.”
He said the ministry has directed all public universities to come out with proposals, and that he would meet the respective vice-chancellors within the next three weeks to ask how they would approach the matter in the 2006/07 academic year.
Emphasising that quality should not be compromised for the sake of quantity, he said the onus was on the universities to make sure they produced qualified graduates.
On moves to corporatise Universiti Malaya, Mustapa said some problems had yet to be resolved.
Efforts to make public universities more financially independent would be ongoing, he said, adding that universities were encouraged to set up investment arms and subsidiary companies.
Although the bulk of the funding was from the Government, he said, the Government was willing to give universities autonomous power.
“At present, about 11% to 12% of university revenues are from fee collection. The remaining 88% is subsidised by the Government,” he said.
Commenting on the call by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for public universities to send a combined contingent to the Malaysia Games (Sukma) in future, Mustapa said the Government does not want the universities to produce bookworms only.
“Sports are important. We do not only focus on academic achievement at the universities,” he said, adding that 90% of the students’ assessment is based on curriculum and 10% on co-curriculum activities.
