I WAS visiting my old village a few years ago and was discussing with the local teachers the sorry state of Malaysian education, in particular rural schools. One of them took that as my blaming the teachers.
“How can we be inspired?” she protested.
She went on to relate that, while in the past there were more than a few bright kids in her class to create some sparks, today those few would have gone into the many residential schools.
Now that Malaysian schools have reopened, that teacher’s lament and perceptive observation came to me as I read the many congratulatory remarks in social media made by and for proud parents whose children had been selected for these residential schools.
