Chinese Students are not Smart - Prof. Datuk Dr. Teo Kok Seong of UKM

 

Another University Kebangsaan Malaysia Lecturer has hit the headlines for saying stupid things.

Here are extracts from the Sin Chew Daily.

A Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) professor is currently under fire for something he said recently concerning Chinese school students.

“These Chinese students studying in Chinese schools are not very smart. Although the school teaches 3 languages, they are only good at their mother tongue. They are not very good at English or Malay,” he said. LINK and LINK.

Shut down kid or dyslexic

 

I have always maintained that a majority of kids who are classified as dyslexic are shut down kids.

I just received a message from the father of a kid who I taught to read when she was in grade two.

She could read in Malay and Hanyu Pinyin but could not read at grade level in English.  

She is one of 39 out of 137 graduates from University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) who graduated with a distinction.

Here is my post in 2019 about her Matriculation results I posted in December 2018. LINK

'Unfair to judge just on Pisa' - New Straits Times

                                                                   

Education Experts in Malaysia must think the Malaysians are a stupid lot of people who will believe everything they say. 

Here are extracts from our New Straits Times dated January 24, 2024 and my comments.

Education experts said it is unfair to entirely judge the standards of the country's education system based on lower scores in the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa).

"The success of our education system is not determined just by Pisa," said National Council of Professors (MPN) president Emeritus Professor Datuk Dr Raduan Che Rose.
