OCTOBER 19 — When Education Minister Maszlee Malik announced that he wished to end the streaming policy in secondary schools, there were some brickbats over the idea. Now, perhaps it is because some Malaysians have something against his earlier ideas, or perhaps they are against this policy...

Some have accused him of using it to abolish the science stream. Some have gone to say it’s a racist policy to put Malays in good light. For those of us currently in our late 20s and throughout our 30s, we remember going through the streaming process and wondering if it was actually what we wanted to study. Did we really need to understand the subjects of the science stream like biology and chemistry if we did not want to go into medicine.

And that was not done by the students, but drilled into them by parents and teachers unintentionally by way of peer pressure — it somehow went on to become a mantra of “get good grades, make sure you get into the science stream to get a better career in the future”.These thoughts became so ingrained that society forgot to ask the student what exactly they want to do, and if the subjects they are studying are tied to what they believe they want to do.

Will all subjects be available as options for all, or will there still be insistence on core subjects — and I’m sure a lot of students will want to drop Pendidikan Moral, whilst some parents are venturing into the idea of dropping Pendidikan Islam. In fact, I personally hope they make this one optional since some parents already send their kids to evening religious schools anyways.

It could be the boy who wants to study Home Economics, or the girl who wants to take Mechanical Engineering and understand how to take apart electronics and engines. It could be the student who wants to learn about the economy, or the passionate writer who wants to understand the olden words of literature in both Bahasa Malaysia or English.
