IN my 2003 book An Education System Worthy of Malaysia I put forth ideas on improving the system. Today the situation is much worse. Nonetheless some, with appropriate modifications, could still be useful.
The cheapest, easiest, and most immediate would be to end the current obsession with Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). Make K-13 the new standard, with Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) the new terminal examination. While America has K-12, that is misleading. The norm is at least K-12 plus two, the two being junior college or university. The necessary first step to improving the quality of Malaysian universities would be to improve the quality of its incoming pupils. Thirteen years of schooling would achieve that.
