That'll explain their "more years of schooling and fewer dropouts than non-Malays".<BR/><BR/>Many non-malay students also take up part-time courses after "dropping-out", while working for a living; is this taken into consideration?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-43636228446637771822008-01-05T04:18:00.000+08:002008-01-05T04:18:00.000+08:00"When Chinese students drop out, they work for the..."When Chinese students drop out, they work for their parents’ enterprises, be they mom-and-pop retail stores or roadside hawker stalls, where they learn important lessons of economics and life generally far more effectively than at school. Malay students would hang around waiting for government jobs. The only lesson they would learn in such an environment is that the world owes them a living."<BR/><BR/>This might be true for a fair number of people, but from personal experience, I see this being a result of the person itself. Essentially, if they are lazy, then they are lazy. Race, I feel, is probably a factor that is over relied upon to explain this.<BR/><BR/>Apart from that, I find myself agreeing with the rest of the analysis, especially with regards to the teaching of maths and science in English: "It is such flip flopping that is so destructive."<BR/><BR/>Couldn't put it better myself. Perhaps MOHE should just commission Bakri Musa to write his own report... :>Fikrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385624097465928342noreply@blogger.com
