Discrimination in schools: Is there a way forward or is it too deep-rooted?

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 ― A former deputy education minister said he was shocked by a recent poll which found as many as one in two students in Malaysian schools experienced some form of discrimination.

“I’m shocked looking at the poll result. I didn’t have that experience when I was studying in secondary public school in the late 80s and early 90s. The schooling environment must have worsened over the years,” he said in a text reply. Over half of ethnic Indian respondents also said they suffered verbal discrimination, followed by 40 per cent who said they were denied access to opportunities because of their identity compared to other ethnic groups.

Sekolah Semua said the survey aims to explore public experiences of perceived discrimination in Malaysian schools, on the back of concerns that little to no data have been systematically collected to estimate the extent of discrimination in the Malaysian education system. “I think the survey findings will provide a reality check especially since some groups experience discrimination a lot more than others,” Wee told“In my lay observation thus far, we do not have sufficient practices that establish norms for anti-discrimination in schools,” he added.

The education minister at the time Maszlee Malik ― until his resignation last January, just weeks before the fall of the PH government ― did not respond to Malay Mail’s request for a comment.

Amalan diskriminasi di sekolah Kebangsaan adalah sengaja bertujuan lebih kepada sifat perkauman. Saya bekas guru dan pegawai pendidikkan lebih 36 tahun dalam sistem pendidikkan diskriminasi berlaku agak terpencil mungkin di sekolah tertentu. dapatan disengajakan besarkan

Enough with the quota system shit! Everyone in MSIA who works hard DESERVES a chance ! Govt selects based on religion not on qualifications- That’s why u hv so many dumb unqualified cabinet members - IF MSIA IS ALL ABT QUANTITY N NOT QUALITY- THEN MEMANG MSIA BODOH!

ICYMI 'Schools' are the breeding ground of the discriminatory system.

Sekolah vernakular hanya di Malaysia

Far to deep rooted. Whose is first among equals. We live it in despair

umno promoted divisions between races for the past 45 years. mic and mca stood by with their eyes and ears cupped by their hands. and now mca complains? your ethnic group deserves the discriminations when they chose you as their flag bearer. Hypocrites

Is anyone even seriously listening to this?

Eradicate the ‘Bangsa’ in all forms; eradicate the quota system; treat all Malaysian as Malaysian and it should start from the mindset of the teachers. These are the bunch of people that in-still the racial segregation from small.

Discrimination all rooted from divide and conquer.... UMNO, MCA, MIC.... What do they stand for They are the root of the issue..

Singapore is Chinese. Minorities is discriminate. What's the Difference.

Wah lau taikor, you mean you've never been told that no matter how hard you study, you won't get the uni you want because you are not Malay? You mean you were not made aware of the quota system? Start there, then you can eradicate racial issues!

Worst in Venecular schools

Hey please lah Chong. School bullies you know. Racial bullies you don’t know.

And Now this Chong guy, 18 months being Deputy Ed Min doesn’t know about this. Being a Nons himself, he didn’t suspect anything. One wonders WTF is he a Non, and an Ed Min doing in his position? Now he talks about Dr M glory days when he was a student there was no discrimination

After so many years of MCA and MIC and PH, the Nons are still marginalized. The one moment which Nons have thought would get some respite was when PH won, but led by Supreme Ultra Dr M there’s no hope for Nons getting any respect.
