CHALLENGES
The education industry in Malaysia faces three major problems that hinder progress:
- One of the greatest setbacks that the education industry in Malaysia is facing is the declining quality of spoken and written English of the local population especially among the Malays. Many Malay graduates cannot string a sentence in English properly.
- The general approach to learning in the education industry in Malaysia is still based on rote learning rather than understanding concepts. According to Bloom's Taxonomy of Education, rote learning confines students to the lowest level in a hierarchy of five domains, viz knowledge, understanding, application, analysis and synthesis.
- It is getting more difficult to get good quality local teachers who can provide quality teaching in the subjects of English, Mathematics and Sciences. Local teachers lack proper training. They also lack professional work ethics that define quality teachers.
SOLUTION
The steps taken by Greenview Islamic International School to overcome the three major problems faced by the education industry in Malaysia:
- Greenview Islamic International School has set a high standard for teachers to meet in ensuring that Greenview students write and speak quality English at all times in school and at home. The medium of instruction for all subjects are in English. Teachers and staff speak and write the English language during office hours. The head of the English Department ensures that all teachers of the English language meet the Cambridge standard in teaching English.
- Rote learning is not practised in Greenview Islamic International School. Every curriculum is designed on the understanding of concepts through interactive and creative learning. Examination questions require students to think critically and think out of the box.
- Teachers are trained by the school at the end of every semester. The focus of the internal training established by the school is to improve the quality of teaching in the school and to help teachers to become professional teachers.
