The Education Ministry cedes control of education in Terengganu to TIA, TIA hires the best and brightest teachers, let Terengganu students sit for both SPM and British O-levels (where the curriculum is not affected by Msian politices).. and we see what happens.<br />Education does not have to be political.Chi-Changhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13468838767406254164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439200743774853734.post-24941067027331680372009-06-04T14:56:16.270+08:002009-06-04T14:56:16.270+08:00Great point... but isn't investing in teachers...Great point... but isn't investing in teachers and education something the state and fed govt should do? Why do we need a SWF to raise RM11bn in debt to invest in education? Terengganu taxpayers must be wondering what happens to their money. Even if TIA gets involved in say such soft issues, it will start to cross directly into the path of state govt departments and hence politics. How can TIA remain apolitical?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
