Kita adalah batch "tikus"

Selamat hari pekerja dan selamat hari ibu kepada semua yang telah menyambutnya... seriously, aku rasa agak seronok menyambutnya mungkin kerana cuti 5 bulan ini dirasakan begitu lama untuk melaluinya. Tapi tak apa, aku akan tulis post aku dalam bahasa inggeris walaupun tajuk ditulis dalam bahasa melayu.

I suppose we already knew the whole situation that occured in malaysia's education system right now. Recently, the government have announced that those with 8A+ and above in SPM 2010 will be eligible to obtain the JPA scholarship.That could be rather lenient since last year's requirement was 9a+ and above, but still a lot of my friends who obtained less than 9A+ GOT those scholarships.Yesterday, I read about those high achievers who slipped out from having straight a's results due to one language paper that was considered very unimaginable to think that only 161 people got A+ out of 50,000 students who took that particular subject(CHINESE LANGUAGE). tHEY managed to get only B+ despite working very hard on it since their primary education. I believe the new grading system is quite troublesome because it is making these students more difficult to achieve good scores in SPM, especially me. If not because of the new system, I would have got 9a1 and 1a2.Batch tikus lah katakan...

Now, JPA has reduced the number of scholarships from 1500 to 1000 places only..HUH!! iT is making the competition even riskier and higher because 10,000+ are straight a's students and 403 students are straight a+'s students. I could predict that many more students who apply for the scholarship are those who are obtaining 8a+ and above.....so, just hope for the best whatever it is..

And now, the freeze on medical courses have stirred the students into thinking that no medical courses are being offered until 2016. However, it is just temporal process as it does not affect those IPT's that already offer the courses. Nevertheless, I just hope that the government would provide more scholarships and more places for these bright students to continue their tertiary education in higher learning institution worldwide.
