In what extents the exam based mentality could survives in the market?
It's interesting to hear/know the Education Ministry would consider to abandon UPSR in academic school calendar. They said, the exam only produce the students to boarding school instead of digging/exploring skills such as communications and practicality. Abroad, esp in Japan, we never been heard of exam oriented in their schooling apporach. Never..
What they emphasized on are the courage and confidence of inner self, independent of exploring and doing something etc which the scholars were thinking about this long time ago. Yet, the phenomenon of hoping and depending on teacher continuously happens!
Students in UiTM (even most IPT in Malaysia) i think, are included in that group (dependent). Lack of the confidence in throwing ideas and opinions keep happening in the class and lectures. Questions and arguments of an issue posed to them only left a silent response, thus, make a lecture session to be a mourn and a bore.
They couldn't be blame 100%. The system we created for them lead them in that way. If we really care about the future, let's we change this system of 'examoniac' or 'examophobia'. While the time is running out, keep them in that way is just an absurd.
