It seems that there are so many rumours I heard that people comment about the students of MJSC..<br /><br /> Most of yhe comments are about their commonucation skills, their results and others more.. Maybe its just what u all guys thought about MARA education longx2 before.. <br /><br />MAybe it seems to be different now.. For me ,the education systems of MARA really helps me to improve myself., eventhough sometimes my frens said that I'm not expose to real world atosphere..<br /><br />But, I still connected to the outside world by the newspapers and internets..<br /><br />I believe that most of the MARA students will survive when they had finish studied at their colloges.. <br />THANKS MARA..Dr. Harmonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-18339830847991898972008-02-19T17:29:00.000+08:002008-02-19T17:29:00.000+08:00Stated in NST pg 4 dated 19.2.08 - DPM to provide ...Stated in NST pg 4 dated 19.2.08 - DPM to provide aid for the poor MRSM students...obviously there are 90% bumi's in this college.

In my final year, the best student was a bumi-chap whom we all knew deserved it as he was consistent in his studies and worked like hell as well. Given the right conditions, the school was able to bring out the best in a student. Bumi or non-bumi, there are good and bad ones out there.<BR/><BR/>It's the politicians who think (or choose to think) that the bumis out here can't compete and take advantage of the situation by prolonging the mentality subsidy.clkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700265260371403083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134641253226970972005-12-15T18:07:00.000+08:002005-12-15T18:07:00.000+08:00LYL, sorry you didn't catch the sarcasm in my comm...LYL, sorry you didn't catch the sarcasm in my comments, which wasn't meant to belittle your achievements.

You can't be overly impressed with the system and at the same time criticise our national school system.

In fact, only 2 people graduated with a CGPA of 4.0 in the past 10 years from MJSC Jasin.<BR/><BR/>Also, the academic standard isnt the same in all the MJSCs. It is far easier to get a better grade at non PKP MJSCs. A friend who transfered out from Jasin to Muadzam Shah went from 2.7 to 3.8 in just a term. :)<BR/><BR/>And keep in mind those that go to matriculation are actually considered the 2nd class people - because they didnt get scholarships/fast track programmes post trials , hence making matriculation their only choice. <BR/><BR/>I would also like to comment on the wide known fact that the matriculation syllabus isnt of par to the STPM. This is true, as I have studied the Maths and Physics syllabus of both these courses.Sad really... <BR/><BR/>LYLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134620092852951502005-12-15T12:14:00.000+08:002005-12-15T12:14:00.000+08:00CGPA 3.93 doesn't seem to compare very much to the...CGPA 3.93 doesn't seem to compare very much to the long queues of MJSC students who achieve CGPA 4.0 and getting the public universities places...so says the minister of higher education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134608569106918462005-12-15T09:02:00.000+08:002005-12-15T09:02:00.000+08:00There is a generally a cloak of secrecy surroundin...There is a generally a cloak of secrecy surrounding many of the residential schools in this country particularly amongst the non-bumi community as they are virtually unknown amongst this community.<BR/><BR/>I was one of the rare non-bumi enrolled back in the 80s into a residential school. I'm not sure whether the situation has changed but in terms of teachers, facilities, infra etc. we were much superior compared to many schools outside. In my 6th form, I was back into a normal day school and had a culture shock when I compared facilities they had (even for 6th form) compared to my Alma mater...<BR/><BR/>Many of what LYL says is probably reflective of the actual situation today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134566131013969432005-12-14T21:15:00.000+08:002005-12-14T21:15:00.000+08:00Dear Tony, Ive read the post. that was quite a nic...Dear Tony, <BR/><BR/>Ive read the post. that was quite a nice write up, but erm.... I would like to comment that you seem to create the illusion that all the other MJSCs are as equal too. :/ Hm... this isnt true actually, and that such teaching facilities are only limited to the PKP ones only. The normal MJSCs only have normal teachers, and mayb one or 2 guru pakar/cemerlang. <BR/><BR/>Also, you did not point out that even though these students are very good academically, only about 10% or less can speak fluently in english - thus not solving the unemployment problems in the country. Also, about 30 % of the students receive various forms of Fast track/ scholarships programmes post SPM trials to pursue engineering, medicine, sciences and accountancy in UTM , UTP, UiTM, and russia ( medicine). This contributes to the lack of medicine places for STPM people. Also, almost all the other will enrol to matriculation colleges. <BR/><BR/>A lot of the people also end up getting JPAs or MARA scholarships post SPM.<BR/><BR/>Btw, our results also come with a price. We are not allowed to take extra subjects - because a few years back, some idiot took econs and got a C, plunging us out of the top 5. Hence, such controlling policies were implimented hitherto. I myself am only taking 10 subjects. I would have taken 13 or maybe 14 instead were I still in my old school. <BR/><BR/>It isnt all sunshine there. :) <BR/><BR/>-LYLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134556453964997932005-12-14T18:34:00.000+08:002005-12-14T18:34:00.000+08:00this is extremely encouraging, but 10% of the quot...this is extremely encouraging, but 10% of the quota to non-bumis?? that does not make up the right division of the malaysian population. <BR/><BR/>honestly, i don't have much against setting quotas and the like, but it has to be done accordingly to its distribution ratio. only then can it be justifiable and accepted to all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134546644589932502005-12-14T15:50:00.000+08:002005-12-14T15:50:00.000+08:00Behind the demoncratization of education facilitie...Behind the demoncratization of education facilities, there is<BR/>always the existence of elitism in education..<BR/><BR/>I read once before (not recall which printed material, but mostly some US magazine..)... elitism is unavoided as the world scientific progress is propelled by the world top 5% scientists...<BR/><BR/>Again...this revelation only serve to remind our Malaysian leaders that meritocratic should be upheld for our local IPTAs. <BR/><BR/>Let the most deserving students (whom have potentials judging from their STPM or pre-u results) to get their deserving courses..<BR/><BR/>Let them have the chance to unleash their human potentials and serve Malaysian interest.....<BR/><BR/><BR/>PatriotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134544273694527402005-12-14T15:11:00.000+08:002005-12-14T15:11:00.000+08:00*APPLAUSE*These are the kind of people we need mos...*APPLAUSE*<BR/><BR/>These are the kind of people we need most.
