KUALA KANGSAR, July 29 (Bernama) -- The Raja Muda of Perak Dr Raja Nazrin Shah Saturday reiterated that the education programme at the Malay College Kuala Kangsar (MCKK) should be implemented using a new and more contemporary method and approach. The MCKK should also be given an opportunity to become a mover in the shift and reform in the education system, in line with global developments so that the human resource was more prepared to face the challenges in the 21st Century. He said this at the MCKK Speech Day and Prize Giving ceremony at the college's Dewan Hargreaves here. "In the same function last year, as chairman of the MCKK supervisory board, I offered to the country the MCKK's readiness to take the responsibility to strategically develop human capital and help realise the wish and aspiration of the country in achieving the developed country status," he said. Following this, he said, he had written to the Education Minister to express the intention which among others called for the introduction of an international education curriculum like the International Baccalaureate at the MCKK. "This year, in the name and on behalf of the supervisory board and the MCKK citizens including the alumni, I reiterate the same wish and express the readiness of the MCKK citizens collectively to shoulder the responsibility," he said. Raja Nazrin said a shift in the approach was very critical and crucial if the MCKK was to remain in the mainstream and continue to be respected as a mainstream education institution. "Let us work together and hope that the wish and aspiration of the MCKK citizens will receive the support and approval from the Education Ministry," he said. He also called for policy statements of the country's leaders, which stressed on the importance of human capital development programmes with a view to enriching the knowledge and equipping the country's human capital with the exposure to be more competitive globally, to be realised quickly. "If not, all the policy statements will become mere rethorics; hence a gap will emerge between the aspiration and the implementation, and between the dream and the achievement," he said. -- BERNAMA Set as favorite Bookmark Email This Hits: 885 Comments (1) Show/Hide comments International Baccalaureate hmmm, i been heard bout this since we still in koleq..but nothing happen until now..too much bureaucracy is it?..or they just talk the talk..another budak koleq told me that koleq did offer I.B before..is it true?..hmmmm..banyak lagi bende tentang koleq dat i doesnt know rupenye.. masyhur , July 31, 2006 +0 Write comment Show/Hide comment form You must be logged in to post a comment.
