I'm one of the first batch of '04 students that took UPSR, PT3 and SPM with the new and updated formats, and I'm currently in my bachelor's degree. All I can say is that the new exam format is already good, and yes the teachers play a big role in how students understand what they've learnt in class. Now that the 2 out of 3 crucial exams in Malaysia are abolished, I see students' grades plummeting. It went viral on tiktok too with teachers showing how their students nowadays answer exam questions, very rude and very influenced by today's social media trends. Those "sebab boleh dik" as their asnwers are very insane. Thank you for making this video! This made me want to do my best in my Bachelor's Degree in TESL to be one of the teachers that Malaysia really needs.

Why are we even surprise with our country's education system. Instead of really focusing on educating the future generations, our ministers are more keen to change the syllabus, change the language used to teach science subjects and also change the dress code of the students. the same thing kept happening every 5 years when there is a new education minister

You left out a big elephant in the room. Race based politics that resulted in race based discrimination in education system.

[ValourValour]

My youngest brother corrected his schoolteacher by stating that Siem Reap is actually in Cambodia and not Thailand but got lambasted and his schoolteacher insisted that Siem Reap is in Thailand - just shows the quality there. On a serious note, it's just the school system. I was only educated in the local school for 4 years and when I came back to Malaysia, I can see the vast differences - the ability to be critical, think for ourselves, the courage to express our views, evaluate thgs, love for knowledge etc were all missing. It's all about impressing busybody aunties and strangers with empty-shelled grades here.

[Rikuokester]

In my opinion, one of the reasons why our teachers nowadays is not really good as before is due to the subject that was assigned to them to be teaching… I have a few friends who graduated as a teacher and major in Sastera but then was assigned to teaching in Math… therefore, at the end, they just teach what was showed in the textbooks and sometimes don’t even master it on that subject… that is based on my friend situation… I think it’s one of the factors…

[yewfaichan]

It's not the problem of early education or teachers.. It's the mentality of beloved policy makers that sabotaged the education system, government employment system for political gains.. It had been 'twisted' so badly that it might take decades to straighten back only IF they willing to..
As for language, we always hear terms like Perkasakan Bahasa hailed by politicians.. But they happily sending their own generations overseas to study which obviously in other language.. At the end, perkosakan our generations.. Sadly, there are still some Ultra M that live in the state of denial again and again..
Cut short: Rubbish In.. Rubbish Out

Language is not a problem.

As a Chinese independent high school student, I was taught in Mandarin all the way until UEC (equivalent to STPM) for all STEM subjects. We primarily converse in Mandarin but we also learned English seriously. After UEC, a lot of us have come to Singapore for university (NUS/NTU, check their rankings), including me. We are doing very well here, way above average in terms of academics and some of us even have topped the class with First Class Honours and Dean's List.

The truth is, language should not matter in STEM education. The teachers matter. We are really fortunate to have these dedicated teachers at Chinese independent high schools that really cared about our learning or we will never achieve what we have today.

It's a shame that our politicians make race and language an issue when it really is not. Don't blame the language and fix the root cause of the problem.

When we have an education system that "passes" everybody even though they fail, meaning dropping the qualification or passing rate of focus this is seep into the future

[bellobearss]

to be honest, it sounds sick that they still use covid19 as their reason in failing the Malaysia education system. I’m currently 21 years old, and I was the first batch in delaying my SPM because of the pandemic era. Let me tell you, the education system was failing even before the pandemic begins due to lack of knowledge and experiences from the high school teachers. I still remember the teachers don’t even understand the questions i asked from the syllabus, and even answer my questions without answering. But that doesn’t apply to all teachers, some are great, passionate and dedicated with teaching. And in their classes, everyone just seem to get along with them and scored great marks during spm. I can’t imagine if some of us don’t really have one single teacher that really motivate and guide us properly in studies, i think that’s why a lot of us prefer to go to tuitions despite high tuition fees.

[jackofatraits]

If you look Siti Mastura recent comment, you will know what kind of level our education is at. And the bitter pill to swallow is that if the gov change the language to english, many Malays will go crazy and said that the governemnt is anti malay and want to destroy bahasa. The PN party will use this as a bullet to gain support. Thus there will always be a stalemate in decision. Change it, and the next thing you know, PN will become the government and we can kiss goodbye to Malaysia. The malays need to wake up to understand that nobody is challenging them. We are all for education. But sadly they can't think critically that way. They only have the 1 way street thinking. It's either you are with them or against them because they are the majority.

[mikehoh]

Actually after 1970 the government under mahathir started the teaching of most subjects in bahasa Malaysia and it started the decline of english. The start of the government flig flog in implementing teaching school subjects in bahasa throughout all these years produced all the present Kang Kong students even to Kang Kong professors. It's a bunch of sad events or stories, yet we always proud of " Malaysia boleh"😢

[iamwill]

I've to agree the point on having qualify teachers.

Embarrassingly, I failed my Physic for the entire year of Form 4, as low as 16 points. But in my Q2 Form 5, my parents sent me to a nearby tuition center. That part time tutor was good, he just a post graduate Utar student working for part time. Thanks to him, he manage to compress all Form 4 & 5 learnings in just few months. Easy to straightforward learning with him.

Manage to get an A for SPM. 😂

The right teacher, the right result.

[Eugenewong]

When even doctors arent paid well in gov, trying to pay teachers well is an even bigger hurdle

[yongkheankhoon]

I want to simply add a point here... some parents are also a problem. They prefer their child to be in a "loving, stress free environment without any care in the world". Hence the school/teacher cannot even scold and reprimand their children, heck the parents would even do the child's homework for them(true story) and with the new (no national exam policy till form 5) there is no will for the children to study. So we are now breeding an even worse upcoming generation.

PISA = PIZZA, delicious, sedap! But Malaysia kantoi.

Singapore uses the method of recruiting “crème de la crème” students. Give them scholarships. Bond them. Send them to the best universities e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, MIT. Come back to be teachers and paid well and comparable to architects, IT professional etc. School students are well taught because the teaches themselves are clever. Additional advantage is Singapore uses English as medium of instruction. Singapore uses budget allocation well for education. May be Malaysia can adopt some of these footsteps.

[lavineshsegaran]

I’m a student, doing form 6
I have a problem in my school
Where my Economics teacher would enter the class at least 15 minutes late daily
And there were some cases where she would skip the lesson because she couldn’t understand the topic
And her classes will always be boring
whenever we don’t perform well for exams
She would tell us to drop out from form 6 and do something else

[limsiryuean]

The core issue isn't the teachers themselves, its about not being able to even keep qualified people to wanna be teachers in Malaysia. The incentives simply isn't there, imagine being good at something but have to play the politics just to have better pay and opportunities.

These qualified teachers either open up a tuition center, teach at a private school or private chinese UECs, or go abroad to do something bigger than Malaysia in their area of expertise. Ngl, the last idea is quite popular ranging from the older generations to the younger ones like myself.
Edit: quality education in Malaysia has a hefty price tag based on the reasons stated above. Once they graduate, you best believe they have the money to leave the country.

[dont_listen_to_Albo]

Up until the late 70’s, school lessons in both Malaysia and Singapore were taught in English. Malaysia then changed over to teaching using Bahasa, while Singapore continued with using English as the medium of instruction. There were strong suspicions that the hidden agenda behind the Malaysian decision was to retard the progress of the Chinese. Now, it looks as if the decision has backfired, as it had retarded the learning of all students.

[abusahl]

My wife is preschool teacher in a government kindergarten. Actual teaching is less than 20% of her workload. She has to do clerical works, accounting, asset management, groceries purchasing for kids' meals, building maintenance as well as community engagement.

[aaronpan]

Every Malaysian YouTuber videos I see and friends I spoke to all are critics of their system…

The smart and affluent parents knows it’s hopeless to say and do anything.

That’s why they send their children to overseas for education. Period…
