IMHO, the syllabus isnt "watered down". one has to take into consideration of the fact that this is a 10month program, whereas STPM is 2 years long. i guess, we do learn a little less compared to stpm graduates, but that does not mean matriculation isn't challenging.<BR/><BR/>one thing that can't be doubted is that matriculation is a semi-simulation of university life. we are given a certain amount of freedom. it's just that some students abuse their new-found freedom and skip too many classes. and because there's only 2 major exams - unlike in form6, you have to show your parents your report card every 3 months or so - some of us just slack off too much.<BR/><BR/>but here's a confession. I definitely payed more attention back in high school. even though i do attend lectures, i'm actually better off studying myself because I just can't absorb in lecture. until i learn the kedah loghat properly, i will really connect with my tutorial mates and lecturers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1127961451705704492005-09-29T10:37:00.000+08:002005-09-29T10:37:00.000+08:00I went through STMP with reasonably good results.....I went through STMP with reasonably good results... but was denied entry to local university. I took an alternative path elsewhere and obtained my masters degree. Now, I have no problem facing strong challenges anywhere in the world, I am already glocal malaysian. The tough path provided by the government have trained me to be a more useful person. The government can achieve more glocal malaysian faster by improving the standards of matriculation programmes to match the STPM.<BR/><BR/>I have many malays friends who is competent did not go through the matriculation programmes. Some working overseas are very competent locally as well as globally (those are glocal malaysian). Unfortunately for malaysia, they do not want to come back to malaysia to work because they said the government is not fair to the bright malay students.<BR/><BR/>Those protection policies are hinders to the malaysian future economy (indirectly). Expertise leak out to other countries, two major groups of people have sought to serve other countries due unfairness, namely the non-malays and the bright malays.<BR/><BR/>I also agree with the others that this article will not change anything because the key performance system (kpi) in the government is a major problem. Someone influential has to change how the government work is measured instead of looking a quantity only.<BR/><BR/>There are certain department of the government has a better KPI measuring system which looks at quality as the priority instead of quantity. I hope the government cope up faster than it should.<BR/><BR/>If you intend to make any difference, there are another area you need to cover i.e. suggest a better KPI measuring system for the government policies implementer for universities (especially the head of department or division). Otherwise, your blog will be just a waste of time.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to your effort against better quality of education in malaysia!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1123826451508291582005-08-12T14:00:00.000+08:002005-08-12T14:00:00.000+08:00As a product of STPM last year, I actually wish to...As a product of STPM last year, I actually wish to thank the Education Ministry for offering me the best pre-U program ever, Form Six and STPM despite the denial of any places in any public universities. I've learned one important lesson after the experience I've had in Form Six-there is no shortcut to success. The extensive syllabi has really taught me to strive harder in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1123765999519910792005-08-11T21:13:00.000+08:002005-08-11T21:13:00.000+08:00Tony,The concept of lowering the bar to generate t...Tony,<BR/><BR/>The concept of lowering the bar to generate the quantities to get into the universities will adversely affect the quality of graduates is known to the government. The critical consideration is politically motivated where racial quotas need to be met.<BR/><BR/>Faced with this problem, it would be better for the politicians to NOT do what is right but to play to the gallery and achieve glory (albeit on the surface) and immediate popularity which is what wins elections.

If they don't get the numbers into the universities, they won't be seen as doing their job. 4 years later, if the graduates cannot find jobs, just blame it on the universities.fishtailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417683193872661413noreply@blogger.com
