My dazzling shelf by DONNIE ADAMS A/L PARAMASIVAM https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6 Made with an open mind en-us 2018-03-15 12:21:05 UTC 2018-03-17 14:55:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Participation in Science stream https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6/wish/242302394 One of the biggest issues in the secondary education in Malaysia currently is the participation of students in the science stream

Yes not all the actors such as students are allign with the same in specific policy.

Similarity is on policy  teaching of Mathematics and Science in English, decision are made without consult or study the 'allocation' (man power) that  the ministry have.

The ridiculous workload that primary students need to do and the curriculum is too content heavy. This can create an imbalance in the development of the individual child. 

YES, different actors have interests in a number of policy areas that they are interested in. For example, Malaysia seems to divert and reorient education policy to focus more on human capital development so its goal to produce 1.3 million TVET workers by year 2020 is a reality!

Malaysia target to have 100% preschool teachers with at least a diploma in ECCE by 2020 but there seems to be no specific programs carried out to achieve this target.

Yes, interest is based on which policy actors are involve and their objectives. TVET is highly on the radar nowadays because the government see it as most critical to the future economy. Historically the government was focusing on language as key for national integration. ]]> 2018-03-15 12:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6/wish/242302633 SUGANTHY https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6/wish/242302766 I would say language of instruction is one of the most critical issue faced by student especially  in SJKT and SJKC

Yes, because each of them (teachers) are bound with the guidelines and objective for each policy.

The others have been mentioned also on type of school

We are just forcing the students to memorize the contents so that they can pass examinations. The true spirit of educating the next generation need to be revived. The ministry is focused on output rather than outcome. The major focus is always on the number of As obtained by a student in public exams. ]]> 2018-03-15 12:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6/wish/242302956 Grace https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6/wish/242303111 The policy reforms are more reactive than proactive.

Yes. 
School Based Assessment (SBA) implemented in the primary school, MOE's concern is more on the continuity in secondary school but the teachers concern more on the workload.

Yes, as not all students are well versed with learning English in Science and Mathematics at an early age unless they have been exposed during their kindergarten times or nursery.

The same as what has been mentioned above in having Mathematics and Science being taught in English.]]> 2018-03-15 12:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6/wish/242304595 Thirunavakarasu https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6/wish/242305049 I believe all the political actors have their own political agenda. They will emphasize on issues close to them (personal or economical) and will tend to ignore other issues. 

The actors especially the politicians will do everything within their capacity to justify the actions just to ensure their political survival and this might put the system at stake.  ]]> 2018-03-15 12:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/donnieadams/PP6/wish/242305049
