Part 2 of National Education Plan... the real story

All roads lead to Akademi Fantasia, true or not, you decide. Anyway come the never ending stories of the real thing. This have gone year in and year out about University applications. We have almost 10-15 Universities, public, semi and private and yet we have young and the up coming even though results are good yet there is no place for them in the Universities. With CGPA scores above 2.8 to 3. plus, hmmm maybe I should advise forget about studying and let us work and make money, since there are no places in the University. Why study hard, knowing that you will be forcefully drop-out by the Administration. And that is SO VERY sad.

After reading articles in the Star online articles "Not All Joy For University Applicant" here and "Accept the Course you get, says MIC Man" here. I get more sad and disturbed with such policy especially when statements like that comes from people in the government. To achieve development status and first class mentality, education must be prioritised. It has to be seen on the merit. These are real people who sees education as a stepping stone of something greater in the future developments in their life and to make their parents proud. But sad to say these good graders will not be able to achieve what they desire in life because of failed education policy in this country. These young good graders are unfortunate people who will be deprived of their basic degree of their choice.

I think it is so true to say that all roads lead to Akademi Fantasia. Reading news like this, makes Malaysia a sad place to stay especially for her people. These are ordinary people from every walk of life, who all wanting to please their parents and to show them that THEY CAN DO IT.
