| description | After achieving independence 60 years ago, various changes, progress and modernization has
been achieved by Malaysia. But one thing is obvious, Malaysian still relies heavily on ideas,
thoughts and technology borrowed from other countries. This dependence if persistent in the long
run will certainly bring many disadvantages. Malaysian people and Muslims from other countries
as well, should be smarter and more creative to create new sciences and technologies without
depending directly on external parties. However, the effort to produce many creative individuals
is facing various obstacles. One such obstacle is a barrier contained in the education system itself.
This article attempts to peel off the obstacles in Malaysian education system. The exam-oriented
education system has been around for a while and indeed it's not an easy thing to change it. In
Malaysia, the Ministry of Education steps in abolishing the PMR public examination and replacing
it with the Assessment Test School-based Form Three (PT3) has been an excellent effort in
promoting Higher Orders Thinking Skills (HOTS) among the young people. Consequently, more
aggressive measures should be taken in changing the education system to emphasize intrinsic
motivation to reproduce new Islamic creative figures which can revitalize the Islamic civilization
to the fullest. |
