The Ghost of George Orwell must be in Brunei Darussalam.
How ironic that Brunei became independent in 1984!
I have it on good authority that at the most prestigious elite college in the nation the teachers now have to sign in with a thumbprint in the mornings!
What an indictment of the educational system in that nation.
I said indictment of the 'system' -not of the teachers, who are usually blamed for everything. Teachers are easy targets because many of them are foreigners.
Nor did I say indictment of the students who cannot be blamed for being poorly motivated by on outdated curriculum designed for people whose first language is English-not Malay.
Shame on the Ministry of Education.
What an admission of failure.
Wake up -and ship out and bring in an appropriate curriculum for your youth-and do it now-not in ten years time.
With a relevant curriculum you might just find you don't have to 'fingerprint' your teachers or students when they come to school.
