Pelajar Malaysia merosot kerana kurangnya autonomi sekolah: Bank Dunia

The World Bank says Malaysia's centralised spending on education means many schools are not accountable for their performance. – The Malaysian Insider pic, December 24, 2013.Malaysia's centralised education system that controls recruitment and spending plans has contributed to schoolchildren performing badly, says a World Bank report released this month.

        The Wall Street Journal reported today that the Education Ministry dictated the expenditure, teaching staff recruitment, syllabus and textbooks while little information was available on each school’s performance.
        “Around 65% of teacher hires are done by the national government rather than individual schools, compared with 5% in South Korea, where public schools have more autonomy,” the global business daily quoted the World Bank report as saying.

        World Bank Southeast Asia director Ulrich Zachau said parents hardly provided feedback to school administrators and with all the factors combined, schools became less accountable.
        Malaysia had performed poorly in the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, coming in No. 52 out of the 65 countries polled.

The country’s 15-year-olds were tested on Mathematics, Science and reading.


        Ranking in the bottom third, Malaysia lagged behind even 17th place Vietnam, a low-income country.
        The Wall Street Journal reported that despite the World Bank saying that there were enough teachers in Malaysia, parents argued that the quality of teaching was debatable.

        Parents have said that teachers were not committed in their job, citing examples of teachers who were more engrossed in their handphones than they were with students during classroom hours.
        However, teachers said that it was unfair to label teachers uncommitted.
        “Teachers today adopt different methods in teaching subjects to students,” the daily quoted Adele Phang, a teacher, as saying.
        The parents’ concern also extended to the Government’s shifting polices of alternating between Malay and English as the medium of instruction in Mathematics and Science.
        “The Government’s frequent education policy shifts, such as switching the (language) of instruction to Bahasa from English, just add confusion in an already muddled system,” the newspaper quoted Sarah-Jane Thomas, a single mother in Ipoh, saying.

        In a grand ambition to improve its education system, the ministry has allocated huge sums of money to its Education Blueprint and is banking on it to raise the quality of education in Malaysia.

        The blueprint aims to shift the mindset so Malaysians would start to view teaching as a professional career while handing more autonomy to state and district education offices.
        It also hopes to promote parents and community involvement in the education system.

        The Education Ministry has also been allotted RM54.6 billion in Budget 2014, highest for any sector.

        Citing the “urgent need to transform Malaysia’s education system”, the World Bank report noted that the country’s education has failed to undergo the necessary reform that would meet the demands for high-skilled professionals.

        “I think in any country an improvement in education is a long-term agenda, and that’s not going to happen overnight,” said Zachau.

        But Malaysia is also facing a daunting issue of brain drain, recruitment firm Kelly Services reported that 20% of the country’s highly educated were leaving for richer economies.

        This leaves the country with less mettle to compete against its neighbour Singapore, a high-income economy with plenty of skilled professionals. – December 24, 2013.

Betul tu. Sekolah langsung takder autoriti utk pantau dan amik tindakan atas pencapaian murid. PIBG pun tak bergerak sangat. Last2, masuk sekolah mana2 pun sama jah resultnya. No such thing as sekolah bagus and tak skarang nie. Kecuali mcm sekolah2 khas. Kalau sekolah2 biasa kat bandar dan luar bandar tu, harap dgn kementerian jah kekdahnya.

Nak bagi autonomi kat sekolah pun kena berhati2 jugak... takut Pengetua gila nak naik nama, dia buat benda yg tak patut buat... contoh tak bagi budak kurang pandai masuk sekolah atau tak bagi ambik exam atau fokus pada non-academic KPI to make up for the lack in academic performance.. pasal non-academic KPI lagi senang nak capai & control contoh sekolah cantik, iso certified filing system etc..

Lagi satu kelemahan part execution.. Ministry level buat polisi based on generalization.. e.g. based on SPM result, English subject weak.. solution hantar all english teacher for 2 weeks crash course.  Tapi at field level most of the time such solution macam bodoh tak masuk akal.   Yang pasti tak semua English teachers need to attend the course pasal some of them are even better dari course instructor.  Yang aku nampak, Pejabat pendidikan negeri & daerah kadang2 tak main apa2 peranan except sebagai posmen.. takde add value langsung... bila depa dapat arahan dari kementerian, arahan tu bulat2 suruh sekolah implement.. bila sekolah atau Cikgu2 question.. jawapan standard yang diberi, "ini arahan kementerian, buat je lah"... patutnya depa the bridge between Ministry and the field bagi feedback & suggestion pada kementerian for better execution plan...

tak habis habis tak puas hati...mcm ini lah aku cadangkan Malaysia cuma ada 1 aliran shj...no more sekolah ikut bangsa atau agama...amacam???puas....hehehehe

maybe Program Permata Pintar Datin Seri adalah solution untuk pendidikan Malaysia?
