Had the teachers been conducting their lessons? Had the head of schools been checking on the running of the classes? Had everyone else been makan gaji buta saja? Do an audit- conduct review....and not be lazy and cosy inside DG office:
At the Year One level, educators play a crucial role in shaping children's basic literacy and numeracy skills. If a significant portion of students fails to meet these fundamental benchmarks, it suggests that the teaching methods employed are inadequate, either in approach or execution.

Wake up call! Wake up, parents! It's the DG and his goons that need to be replaced or go through retraining, not your kids!!

Students' Inherent Learning Potential: Most children, if provided with the right teaching strategies, support, and environment, are capable of acquiring basic skills like the 3Rs. When a large proportion fails, it points to systemic issues in the delivery of education. Blaming the students by placing them in extended "remedial" classes risks masking the true problem—the educators’ performance.

Know this - Accountability of Teachers: Teachers are professionally trained to cater to diverse learning styles and paces. If more than a quarter of students are failing, it shows a breakdown in differentiated instruction, classroom management, or engagement. In such cases, the focus should shift to retraining the teachers or, if necessary, replacing those who cannot meet the required standards.

Get rid of the problem or innocent children will continue to be stigmatised and be forced to waste time in
inefficiency "Wayang Kulit" classes: Extra remedial programs that merely extend the time students spend in classrooms, without addressing the underlying teaching deficiencies, are akin to a superficial fix. These programs divert resources while failing to resolve the root problem: ineffective teachers.

Long-term Damage: Poor teaching not only harms the current cohort of students but can have long-term effects on their academic confidence and future learning. Retraining or replacing ineffective teachers would ensure that future batches of students do not face the same struggle, thereby improving educational outcomes across the board.

To some private college and new universities like TAR UMT, it is purely money oriented in the background, get more pupils means get more PTPTN money. Cakap tak serupa bikin. In some govt primary and secondary schools, tutup mata, pass semua saje la... that's the reality nowadays...teachers don't want to be questioned left and right and write many reports, why students fail (due to no interest, laziness, etc) :D
