Find ways to stimulate children’s interest in science and technology, Anwar tells Education Ministry

MELAKA: The Education Ministry should set up a task force to outline a mechanism on ways to stimulate children’s interest in science and technology related subjects, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said these subjects are imperative owing that the global pace is moving towards green technology, especially in the automotive field.

“I have asked the ministry to set up a special task force to stimulate the children’s enthusiasm in such subjects and in solving the challenge and exploring new disciplines in science and technology,” he said when launching the 2023 national Teachers Day celebration, themed “Guru Insani Pemangkin Generasi Madani” at Melaka International Trade Centre here on Tuesday .

Anwar said a study found that the interest of children, especially in rural areas as well as the urban poor, towards science and technology has deteriorated. Separately, Anwar also called on teachers to continue supporting the government's leadership and boost the people's spirit so that Malaysia could regain its status as a great nation in this region.
