CYBERJAYA: Former education minister Maszlee Malik has criticised the education ministry for not having a holistic plan to revitalise the country’s education system.

When asked about his biggest concerns surrounding education, the Simpang Renggam MP said he was worried about the system’s “lack of direction, uncertain future and unclear direction”.


Warning that the pandemic-interrupted classes over the past two years will have a long-lasting impact on students, Maszlee noted that the education ministry had not drawn up post-Covid-19 education plans for this “lost generation”.

“The loss of learning over these past two years will have an impact for the next five, 10, 20 years,” he told FMT.

“(But) if they (education ministry) carry on doing ‘business as usual’, even though the impact of Covid-19 has been very severe, there is nothing we can expect from them.
