Malaysia Education Is Losing To Vietnam. Here's Why

[@bloomingblossom5269]

Reminds me of my former math teacher. She's a very very competent teacher and loves teaching; even a bad student like me managed to get 'okay' rank despite getting F continuously the previous year. Yet there's one problem… because she's very competent she got assigned more task not related to teaching like going to courses etc. so much that we only saw her two days in a week. She make up for her absence by teaching her classes for half a day session during weekends which she also didn't force any students to attend because the fault is with her and not her students.

[@rosidahariff2365]

Her dedication is a thorn in her colleagues & superiors.

[@jiaxin4116]

[@louong93]

You must be a Singaporean is it ? Or Vietnamese is it ? Malaysian teachers are terrible especially those that teaching Chinese school. If you fail Chinese you are automatically no hope. But they forget Malaysia national language is malay.

[@anirsyafiq]

Me as a teacher 1. Inadequate training is half the problem. Malaysia is too slow in providing properly trained teachers. They resolve to open vacancies to non education major graduates and only provide little training to them. KPLI, DPLI, interim, mystep. Still we dont have enough teachers 2. The clashing between old school/ dinosaurs with the new teachers. Education is a dynamic system. As generation changes so does the way we teach. The old cant cope, the new properlt trained ones are pressured to the demand of the dinosaur that resting in the higher up. Dont forget the little napoleon that " bawa kepala sendiri" Miss match of understanding and views within educators that makes it hard for us to move together. 3. Training is always provided to the teachers but they just " bagai melepas batuk di tangga" put everything shove it down to our throat then expect us to implement them without proper facilities, equipment, budget etc. 4. Under appreciate, lack of reward system. Yes they are some but of it are superficial. Some based on seniority, some purely based on the wow factor instead of effectiveness and viability. 5. Lack of authority, teachers really cant do anything nowadays. Everybody seems to be above us. Even the students. They can do whatever they want we cant do anything. The system listen more to parents instead of the teachers. Nobody is listening, nobody is really looking. Only ousiders condemning teachers here and there Reality is everything looks find and dandy on paper. The system said they did that and this and macam2 program here and there But under here eveything is a shithole and nobody is truly give a damn.

[@rachelwan90]

Coming from an intense Chinese primary school and onward to a National secondary school, the drop in quality of teachers is pretty evident. But I enjoyed the more relaxed atmosphere in secondary. From the get go, I knew that everything was about the As. The number of As means access to scholarships, both private and government. It didn't matter if you were competent, or whether you could think critically, I spend most of my energy just memorising and vomiting. I also negotiated with my parents, as long as my grades were fine, I can skip tuition. At the end of it all, I did well but felt incredibly stupid! I'm just glad that my school was very active in its co-curricular scene. I think those clubs taught me more about life than anything I could learn in class. There weren't a lot of teacher supervision, and we needed to get things done on our own. We organised lots of camping trips, and made plans to go Petroscience etc. I'm not sure how schools can mimic this kind of active initiative amongst students; all I know is if your teachers are swarmed with admin work, the responsibility lies on the students to make things happen.

[@MrMoneyTV]

This is a good one. I did learn a lot more from co-curriculum too, leadership and dealing with people. In fact I recall I had some friends who have no idea what the subject was all about and could barely apply the knowledge yet scoring As simply because they memorize the answers. Critical thinking ability = low However recently I saw the syllabus in primary schools. I have to say it does encourage high level thinking skills and critical thinking. But I’m just unsure if the teachers are ready to teach and our preschools are able to prep the students to adapt for primary schools. This will lead to a huge problem, in this young generation

[@user-tl9wv6wu9h]

⁠@@MrMoneyTVrep for para 3: Syllabuses are too pack & many topics to catchup before final academic semester. I agree with aspects of HOTS/KBAT but it must balanced with lesser topics (in a subject), so teachers have optimum period to track & do reinforcement for weak students before continuing next topic. If you read KSSM/SR syllabus, there’s no mention about provided period to recap & enrichment (like our curriculums were designed for robots without taking account on children cognitive development nature - perhaps only ‘guru-guru cemerlang di bandar’ were chosen to get involved in designing curriculum along side with pakar than ‘guru biasa di luar bandar’).

[@avint247]

Very well and truly spoken. One more thing and it's often overlook is the role of parents in child education. I can see that your parents are very well involved in your education. Not to belittle bumis, but their parents lack the mentaliti of Chinese counterparts. Not to say that they are not education aware but they dont encourage or supportive enough about their child education.

[@rachelwan90]

@@MrMoneyTV Critical thinking might also equate to subjective answers that might be difficult for teachers to assess and grade. If you were graded more on social skills, like leadership, empathy, cooperation, initiative, wouldn't it be better? Trouble is, how do you even grade these sort of stuff? I think the gov can start by firing those non-performing teachers. 'Firing' might sound super mean but I have teachers who taught English that can't even speak the language properly. It is very unfair to those teachers who have Masters and are very competent in conducting lessons.

Peter I understand your concerns over our education system. While I agree our education system need serious reforms, I think you need to get some of your facts corrected. I think you misunderstood cascade-oriented professional development. As a former Malaysian teacher trainee I particular took offence to how loosely you use the term “teacher training”. What the paper and yourself were referring to is Professional Development not teacher training. That is a wholly a separate matter. Malaysia still invest a lot in teacher training but these institutions have suffered from underinvestment as well as not attracting the best talent for the industry. If you were born in the mid eighties you are a product of a curriculum based on KBKK (CCTS) everyone wanted to go “science stream” art stream classes was stigmatised. The boom in interest in STEM which you described in Vietnam happened in Malaysia between 1995 and weaned circa 2010. I would have felt more receptive to this video if you spoke about the failure of Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 rather than comparing us to Vietnam. The Blueprint was the brainchild of JIBBY administration was loosely based on the Australian Education system particularly NSW system. Admittedly it was a great document to read but at the end of it how much of the Blueprint was realised. Oddly enough Peter, it speaks about giving autonomy to schools, lessening teacher workload even highlights the importance of early childhood education. While your intentions are noble Peter, I just find this video very “opposition”. In the end of the day like pencen and oil subsidies, education is also very high up in our expenditure. As you have pointed out in terms of universal education I can admittedly say we have done a decent job. Also its pertinent to note that there are many many many excellent teachers out there but access to schools with very good teachers still remains "exclusive". I do agree that things need to change. Our education system has suffered neglect over 10 years while the world changed and shifted their education focus we were resting on our laurels. What I fear is I don’t expect any wholesale changes soon.

[@sonnymak6707]

Right on my friend. These kind video is to pander to a set of doomsday Malaysian with very bias views more to sentiments than any sort of empirical facts. Dont expect better from him becuase these type of videos sells views. If the title is success of Msian education ... No one would click .

[@olderchin1558]

I spend most of my life as a quality control manager for Malaysian education, being an Engineering manager hiring hundreds of engineers for 5 different companies. I can vouch for Peter's accuracy on quality if our STEM graduate. My wife, me and children have the missing teacher phenomenon. This isn't new, I am in my 60s. Between maternal leave and professional development, we don't see much of these teachers. And if they around, reading and transcribing from text books isn't exactly teaching. Today, I noticed a new phenomenon, self study and student teaching students. A lot of graduates are going to end up inadequately trained.

[@vimalrajkr]

The education problem is a multifaceted problem. It requires constructive dialogue. 16 mins cannot highlight the issues of system that serves the whole country. This system, has to serve children across various different terrains and most importantly diverse socioeconomic background. I did not say the overall talent development in our schools is good. SOME schools do a phenomenal job. I went to the same school for 12 years. A government school in Kedah a little over 100 years old. The alumni of my alma mater include a Petronas CEO, two speakers of the Dewan Rakyat, the guy who brought you MyBurgerlab was a classmate of mine. My school produced the OG SPM superstar in 2001. If you recall a certain Ong Jin Hock who came from a humble hawker background. These are just a few to name. Im not saying they owe the school for their success. As a alumnus I know the school has some excellent teachers. We had decent facilities. Parents of most children were very involved. However, Ive also had the experience to sit on the other side of the table as a TEACHER in classrooms across three secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur. MGSKL and VV both partially funded by the government and the other SMK Bangsar. These are schools which basically break-even in their daily operations and they also serve the most vulnerable population in Kuala Lumpur. The educational quality and schooling experience I had during my school life was nowhere near the same. Just compare the education quality in SMK BANGSAR AND SMK BUKIT BANDARAYA. These schools are just 2km apart. That was almost two decades ago. Has anything changed? The current public school system needs a revamp. The centralised model we have post independence was to improve literacy and increase participation. IT did that job well but it came at at expense. Additionally after Pak Lah, look at what JIBBY and MOO did. (Blueprint). They basically broke an already ailing system. The higher education part of the Blueprint saw massive rebranding, where institutions which were originally accredited to produce diplomas became new degree factories. This may be one reason why you are seeing more undercooked grads. To expect the government alone to provide high quality education is fallacy. At the same time having done extensive work on effects of neoliberalism in education in the antipodes, privatising education will just exacerbate inequality. This is where I think SJK/SMJK C provides a model to emulate. Public-private partnership. I don't want to dwell on ideal solutions as I've mention before it needs political will which will never come.

[@myretronation]

I was in Sekolah Kebangsaan from 1986-1996, and I can tell everyone reading that I barely learned anything in those 11 years. Out of the dozens of teachers I had met in the six schools i went to in Melaka, Selangor, and Penang, only 3 ever had my respect and considered actual educators instead of being useless government servants just there for a paycheque. I had a teacher assigned to teach English and she couldn't speak English fercryingoutloud! Alhamdullilah my parents took it upon themselves to give my siblings and I homeschooling as it was very evident early on school could not be depended upon.

[@nightsage217]

We suffer in IQ test ranking as well, because conventionally our education does not emphasise reading proficiency, critical thinking and problem solving; it's all memorization practice and speed answering that take us to straight A's. When the government tries to explore what we lack of, they actually pile up the material instead of rehauling the teaching system as a whole. What you have is materials push to earlier timeline. (i.e: Science chapter in standard 6 has now belonged to standard 4, or form 5 's chemistry is now form 4). In addition to abolishment of UPSR and Covid Study deficiency, teachers give up. There is no longer a reliable standard as goal post, There is a bureaucratic check list, teachers are actually more administrators than teachers. Also, double coexisting language medium does not help teachers at all. I think teachers are underpaid for what they need to perform, the student: administration: 1 teacher ratio is brutal, and the education standard fluctuates for no good reason. Culturally, does A mean I manage to remember to solve math problems 100 time correctly, or I'm being really clever at solving how far a potato bazooka can shoot a potato? That is the question ministers, teachers and parents need to solve.

Agreed. Teachers in Malaysia do need, 1) to be appreciate with better incentive, 2) given the right training and support 3) respected

[@brendongunn9477]

Wow, wasn't expecting a reply of this calibre but here we are. To add on to your comment, I remember back in the 90s where my teachers used to teach us how to think critically i.e. 1+1=2 Why and How ? What is the number 1 and 2 ? Small things like that which made my class topped the school's test result when we didnt really memorize much at all (save for sejarah and geography because those are really just based on memory). However I still think its important to train our memory regularly since modern day tasks require you to multitask and forgetting just makes you appear less competent in the job market. Agree on teachers needing to be appreciated monetarily. Upon graduation our teachers literally told us to not be teachers because the pay is literal dog poop.

FYI Vietnam was ruled by ancient China on and off for about a thousand years, hence the culture and some practises remained until today. Another 2 facts here that we should really take note is that they defeated mighty ancient China from being annexed and finally able to be independent which led them being a sovereign kingdom and eventually a nation. And secondly the fact that all of us know which was just decades ago, they defeated mighty America in the Vietnam war despite having weapons and technology far more inferior!

I, myself was a student in rural area schools, during my primary and secondary school time. To be frank, based on my experience, almost all of the teachers during my school days seem to be more interested in teaching me how to score in exams, rather that raises my curiosity in the subjects. I knew that it was not their fault. The school simply doesn't have resources to make learning interesting. As a result, most of my ex classmates were not even interested in what the teachers were teaching. Ironically, most of my ex classmates (I would say almost half), can't even get a full B or above results despite being in the top class. If the students are not motivated to learn on their own or smart enough, it is really difficult to get a good result if the students only rely on what is being taught in school. It was also difficult to attend tuition class as all those tuition centers were in the urban area. To make things worse, the ministry has a high tendency to send teachers with disciplinary problems to teach in rural areas. So, those in the rural areas will always be lagging behind. Fortunately, Malaysia has the matriculation system, so those from rural areas still have chances to study in university. But that is just an act to increase the quantity, not the quality of the students. I'm just afraid that there will be a time where the government cannot support the system anymore. What will happened then?

I myself have 23 "jawatan" in school and 3 of those are major ones that aren't supposed to overlap with each other (SU Koko, Guru Kelas, KP Sejarah) also i had to coach the school sports team. Yes i could opt to hire an actual coach but most of my kids couldnt afford to pay monthly so i do it myself for free. Plus i have 4 subjects to teach and 7 classes with +-40 students in each class. How am i supposed to actually teach effectively under these conditions when I have all this on my shoulders?

[@yongkheankhoon6710]

i would like to offer a different angle. Parents also play an important part in this decline. Now the "snowflake generation" kids cannot be taught, reprimanded or disciplined. If the kids were scolded by school teachers, they will go back to complain and guess what.. the next day the parents will come full swing with threats to sue the teachers... so after a few rounds of these.. the teachers will lose their interest in teaching students. In the mind of teachers, why do they need to stick out their necks to make sure the kids are successful .... teachers just need to go to class, talk and give out homework and thats it.... they will be paid their salary. no need to do extra and make sure the kids learn. My friend who is a teacher told me so... parents threated him with the law suit... so he learnt to let the students rot..... so parents cannot PUSH the blame solely to the government....

I'm Vietnamese and I'm really glad that our neighbour cares about us. But you know, I have had no idea about the education ranking or PISA until I found your video.

Like $200-$300 USD per month. That's rough for them. 3. We're not allowed to be creative, even doing an essay, we have to do all the things that be taught from the teacher. 4. There's no places for other fields but STEM. 5. We have to study a lot, like... a lot. Even summer, we just have a 1 month break and head back to study to prepare for the next year 6. The National Exam to get the ticket to universities is everything. If you failed, you'd be dishonored by your family. So that's so much pressure for 17 year-old kids.

very good video , i like the research put into it with the references and stuff. Personally, i read 1 summary and 1 book, poor economics and lean startup, the logic presented in both suggested to me ways for a country that is "falling behind" to catch up. Firstly from the book lean startup, we should form a build, measure, learn loop and roll out trials in small batches for education practices, measure student retention in class(the amount of truancy), average grades obtained, how many students sign up for extra courses on their own, how many actually attend those courses, how many would refer others to their education institute, these are the "registration rate, activation, retention, referral and revenue" of a company which can translate to that of a country in different form. I strongly believe that running a country takes similar executive skillset to running a company. Secondly, from the book poor economics, it is said that by just enforcing the idea of how good school is to parents, they would push for their child education and causes them to be more likely to remain in school, this is the biggest factor. Second factor would be de-worming the child, which implies that having good health is important for studying better too. However, all these are just tidbits i learned from books, it may or may not be viable in the education sector.

In fact I was told by a recent teacher that he was quiet sure that the current students reading a maths degree might not be able to pass the questions in Further Mathematics and Applied Mathematics that were used in Form 6 of the 60s. Indeed, we were tola by the Head of our school to test those Indonesian DR. teachers on their quality by asking them to solve the problems in the Further Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, all of them could not solve them!

They cite the perceived poor level of education in srk/smk now and worry about bullying due to low number of non bumi enrolments. I myself am childless, but I often wonder, if money is a problem, should parents really spend top dollar to send their kids to good schools and then suffer later when they can no longer afford the payments and revert back to the public school system? Or should they instead send their kids to to public school first and start saving for their kid’s tertiary education, which I believe is more important? Maybe I come from a time where primary and secondary education is ok, but I didn’t feel like I learned a lot nor applied anything during primary and secondary in my adult life.

The education system in Malaysia is race and religion-based. When an Indian student with exceptional results will end up in lower-income jobs like hospital attendant, while a mediocre Malay will end up as a doctor. Because of the education apartheid system in place, the poor, especially if the Indian student is from a poor family, cannot afford to avoid this predicament and get pushed to the corner. In contrast, a wealthy Chinese boy can overcome the hindrance by going to a private university to pursue MBBS, which he deserved. This education apartheid in the long run will create a situation where the best person would not get the chance, but the wrong person is in the wrong place. This is why education meritocracy is very, very important in a country. An apartheid system with race-based quotas and special privileges exploited by rich Malays will create a big problem called brain drain. Brain drain is a major setback for Malaysia, and Malaysia is in such a predicament with lower salary, lower income, worse ringgit value, still a developing country while neighboring countries adopt better education systems and are doing much better than Malaysia. Using apartheid systems as a tool for political reasons is a curse for the nation.
