UKM professor Teo Kok Seong says parents want less religion in school and more dedicated school heads.
PETALING JAYA: An educationist has given a list of issues for Putrajaya to tackle if it wants to improve the standard of national schools, following the prime minister’s call to make these great again.
He suggested that the government either scrap Chinese, Tamil and Islamic schools, or make national schools so attractive that they become the first choice for all parents. Teo said he had compiled the feedback from parents on why they did not their children to national schools into a report and sent it to the education ministry.
“We need to take stock of the current situation in our education system, prioritise and improve on our shortcomings and how to get there,” she added.
