Extreme future

In the extreme future, nano-IT-bio and nuero technology going to dominate the world in the next two to three decades.

Not only the electronics will be taken over by nano but several other industries will also be dominated by the nanotechnology including textiles. This technology is still not popular in Malaysia. No students I have met ever have the ambition to learn this technology as they do not know the prospects of reading this. The employability is also very limited as Malaysian companies do not have high technology.

However students should have the knowledge of prospects of this advance technology, if not teachers must provide them with sufficient knowledge as to create interest to learn this techonology. Students should learn advance techonology in advance as they should prepare themselves for the future. In a competitive environment we should have skills others do not have in order to earn economic rent.

As with bio and neuro, men wants live long. A long healthy life to which bio-neuro play an important role. Men now live longer than any time in history as modern medical science developed in the last 150 years ago. Before that men had an average life of 18 years only. Alexander lived only 32 years and Socrates live until 35 years only. So were Buddha and many others.

Now living until 70 years old is a norm. Now with the developments of medical science(Bio- Neuro) it is possible children born in the last decade of last century can live until the first decade of the next century.

Genetic engineering which is also related with the same field as this will develop further and enable men to have night vision, sharp vision etc. Stem cell development will enable cloning of organs possible. Artificial human blood will be discovered within next decade. To make all these developments possible, there is a need for massive need of high level human resource development to which intelligent students need to prepare themselvs and contribute toward the same.

IT, is one field many think it is saturared now. Highly skilled IT personels there is still huge demand. Robotic science development is accelerating. Medical surgeries are done by robots. Factory automations( Industrial robots) are also need IT personels. So IT with nano will an excellent field in the future.

UPSR 7As and 5As.

In the mid December the standard six students placements in secondary schools were made known. Some 7As students of SKT/C were not offered to enrol in the primier schools but students SK even with 4As and 1B were offered place in these institutions. Reason: offers were based on co-curriculum for students of SKT/C but SK automatic offers.



How the co-curiculum marks were calculated. Answer- condidential.



The successful students (5As) of SK are separated and put in special classess called RKA( Rancangan Khas, special programme ) and the sub standard students (4As and 1B) were put together with the 7As students of SKT/C students.



Reason : The schools needs to concentrate on the SK students so as to ensure that they produce better results in PMR. SKT/C students : don't bother.



To any visitors from education departments or elsewhere were shown the RKA classes.



This practice gives an impression that the SK schools are superior to SKT/C school students.

This is in line with the government policy of " memperkasa sekolah kebangsaan".



Parents of SKT/C however should not give up hope. This is just a government gimmicks. The teachers teaching the RKA classes do not have extra teaching skills. The parents of these classes too depend heavily on private tuition classes which is a norm now for better results.



With all these dicriminations the enrolments to SKT/C s keep on rising. No sign of the standard of education being dropping. BRAVO PARENTS.
