There's been too much change in the education system.....aih....heard that they want to change sejarah to make it more "muhibbah" oriented. So in the end, we end up not learning History at all.
ReplyDeleteFinally a change in the syllabus. It is time for a 'reformation' of the Malaysian education syllabus. I mean, we should make it more of a "matured" syllabus, a syllabus that once we enter tertiary level education, we wouldn't have to slog too much. In my opinion our Mathematics and definitely English.
ReplyDeleteTalking about History; we should change it. Yes, I don't mind learning about our country, in fact I love it, the only problem is that many of the facts, the public deems "fake" or "Not true". True or not, we should make our history textbooks more factual, facts that ALL race can relate too. And is there a harm in learning ancient history or military history?
