Minister of Education, hullo, hullo. Do not reveal yourself too much. It is getting dumber and dumber.
On getting appointed as Minister you talked about feet (shoes) but not head (brain). Is black or white shoes a major issue. Has feedback from parents, teachers, and pupils been made before jumping to a decision? Please do not make policies based on narrow perspectives and experience.
Now, you say certot short for cerita kontot. It sounds janggal unlike pawagam (panggung wayang gam bar). Indonesians are good at coining word combination. Let DBP get into the linguistics. As a Minister go into bigger things for example set guidelines for more open use of school fields for the public after school hours, on weekends and holidays.
As taxpayers the public has the the right of access and use of school amenities. Apart from fostering closer school-community relationship there would be fuller utilisation of facilities. More so there is lack of public parks in the country. But golf courses aplenty indicating our lack of planning for recreation.
Reduce the number of Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah to half the number meaning that 2-3 districts share an office. This is to minimise tier and overlapping leading to effective management by the state officers. It is common knowledge that the staffing of PPDs are filled up with slackers and suckers.
The concept of sekolah dalam taman is over-zealously if not ignorantly conducted. In most cases especially new schools in high density areas the school compound are limited. To fill every nook and corner with plants and pots make it crowded what more with thousands of pupils. The school gardener is unable to maintain the plants as such they become neglected, untrimmed and potential hazards. Open space with green grass create the expanse effect and uncrowded minds.
Mahathir wanted to get our education system on the right track but people got stuck with one-post PM! I am sure there are more capable candidates than the Certot.
addendum: Najib as Minister of Education and PM neglected to uplift education standard in Pahang. There are two things at least he could do. One, establish a branch campus of University Islam at Cameron Highlands, a cool climate for studentship; two, build a primary school at Fraser's Hill, another cool place, so that residents and staff do not have to send their children elsewhere. There is one primary school there, a Tamil one.
The current Minister of Education should look into these matters where education facilities are in need.

When I recently visited Gambang,I was aghast at the sight of the butchered green lungs of the region. A vast region was bulldozed for a solar project in an area where academic institutions were in place before .It was very hot and deemed uncomfortable for the thousands of students where once it was otherwise. Pandai no depa plan project2 mega tanpa tgk kesan pada org sekitar. Tahniah.
