Knowledge (Part 2)

as being mentioned in my previous post, the process of acquiring knowledge is indeed very tough, yet not impossible..hence, it requires a thorough plan so to restructure our learning institution..and here are my comments in regards to this issue:

• learning is not mere memorizing facts and figures
• the notion that teachers know everything  should be redefined, if not eliminated
• students are not just entitled to score high in exams, but encouraged to work more on personal research
• the syllabus must be revised more often, while the content should be more provocative, which could stimulate critical thinkings among the students
• the learning process should be in two ways - not only the students learn from the teachers, but it could happen the other way around
• to get the students engaged in more lively in-class discussion
• the teachers should act as facilitators, instead of instructors
• each schools should have more areas of concentration, which could cater to current students' interest..as of today, most schools have stressed only on few major areas: pure science, Koran sunnah (religion), engineering
• parents should not be the decision maker for their kids' future..instead, they should be a great supporter
• corporates should allocate more fund on research projects
• local community should create a conducive learning environment for the teenagers
• public library should function more efficiently, other than just a book store
