Parents

 When we become parents ourselves,then only can we understand our parents concerns for us.

Why do Chinese patents push their children to settle down and get married.Its because in traditional society,women were homemakers while men were the breadwinners in a family,, so women needed a man to support her in life.secondly its having children to continue the bloodline and family lineage.but with education and career choices,women have more options to remain single and happy.

Parenting is a lifelong job you cant resign from unlike a career.the Chinese proverb says you will spend 99 years worrying over your child even if you live up to a hundred years.

So if you plan for a year,plant rice.

If you plan for 10 years,plant a tree

But if you plan for 100 years,educate children.

Thats why Chinese parents invest so much time and effort to educate their childten.

Looking at the racist remarks by young Malaysians, and their religious bigotry,you would think its the education system that breeds divisiveness and racial discrimination.When sports should be an avenue to unite,its become a place to harbour political or racial  ideology.But Mandela said if a child can be taught to hate,he or she can also learn to love.

If educators themselves do not promote inclusiveness in society,then they should be removed from the system before the minds of the young get f@#£ up.yeah we are breeding the next generation of the US version of The Proud Boys,disruptive rioters who resort to violence to overthrow the democratic process.

Have sports activities in schools that let childten of all races and social class interact and play together.dont let a single race dominate a sports.why cant an indian boy learn basketball or a chinese boy play football together?why cant females play football or males do cheerleading?

Have musical bands,art activities and team building that involve all races and be inclusive,not excluding those of lower social group,different races or political beliefs. Inculcate respect for diversity from young for shaping a united nation by a united government .

There is urgent need to revamp the education system from the bottom up.the ministry should set up online forums to get feedback from grassroot level and not make policies in a silo ivory tower.engage stakeholders like PAGE,industry experts n trade association on what kind of manpower is needed in future,expert experienced educationists like Dr. Syed Husin Ali,Dr Syed Ali Tawfik al Attas who talked on Malaysia needs proper leadership to overcome problems and Prof Mohd Tajuddin Rasdi who spoke on the new Msia ,issues and ideas in education and education is to be enlightened or stupid?

Finally get survey done on why students drop out or what makes them lose interest in learning?get the holistic picture because education has a long term impact on productivity and economic growth.
