Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik received some stinging barbs at a dialogue session organised by the Asian Strategy and Learning Institute (Asli) in Subang Jaya today.
Former Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (Ikim) director Syed Ali Tawfik Al-Attas said the education system is fundamentally broken, and needs a complete overhaul.
His remarks echoed the views of former school principal V. Chakaravarthy who criticised Maszlee for not addressing education issues from the bottom up.
Chakaravarthy, who served as principal in three schools from 1980 to 1995, said children shouldn't be taught science before standard three as they will only learn to regurgitate what they were taught, instead of understanding it.
