KOTA KINABALU: Senior Education Minister Radzi Jidin said today that he became a minister not to gain popularity, but to ensure that all Malaysians, especially young people, receive a proper education.
Radzi, a boy from the village of Kelantan, studied at the Royal Military College before continuing his studies abroad. He promised to guarantee the best education for the people.
He said making surprise visits to schools had become routine for him, to see the neutral learning environment in person, as well as to get feedback from teachers and students on ways to improve the country’s education system.
“That (becoming popular) is not necessary, what is required is the implementation of methods and policies that benefit students and parents.
“We can do it, we have the resources, that’s why I say that I don’t like anything luxurious, the important thing is delivery. This is because education can change lives, ”he said here at a media event during his working visit to Sabah.
Radzi said that at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the country’s education faced numerous challenges in ensuring that all students were not left behind (in studies), as new learning methods, such as virtual learning, had to adapt, particularly on the part of teachers and students.
“Many students don’t learn during MCO (motion control order), we know that, but when schools open, the holiday comes, so when will the curriculum be completed?
“As a responsible ministry, we cannot allow this to happen, so I risk, despite the complaints, sticking to the plan, to ensure that students do not miss their lessons because of the MCO,” he said.
