Yesterday, as me and my friends sat down at foyers at uni, somehow we started an conversation regarding education as we compare the 3 main countries (UK, US, Aussie) that malaysian opt when they pursue their tertiary education. As much as i hate to say, the centuries old UK education system need a rebuild as many things they are doing is just not practical anymore. i have no doubt that uk education system produce a lot of professionals, but the way of learning just need to move on. For example, I'm still learning management theories from my great grandfather era which is illogical in today's world. A round table case study discussion and presentation after that would make much more sense than a final exam which requires answer with theories that no longer apply.
Because u can always do extra reading when u graduated therefore, you should strive to understand and learn it now but not memorize it. Education is not just about scoring As, u might think i'm bitching cause i couldnt score A in my degree, but dont u agree u are just studying for the sake of scoring without understanding what are u learning and what could u do with this knowledge in the future??
I always wonders, when the british is going to implement the more liberal of education just like the US. as clearly studying and learning is a distinct thing all together. so that we the Commonwealth nations can enjoy the benefits of it.
A wise man once said,
To repeat what others have said, requires education. To challenge it, requires brain.
The UK system need a revamp as the Aussie is picking up and might well be the 1st choice of tertiary education for malaysian in the future.
The above is just my 2 cents from the topic. Now, i'm off to study and assignment cos i m doing an uk program. LOL
