NIBONG TEBAL – Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said she is in the process of listening and taking views from all parties on some of the country’s education issues to ensure that the education measures are made better.

According to Fadhlina, listening to the views of all stakeholders especially during engagement sessions is important because the Education Ministry is a large ministry and very important.

“There are several issues in education we are looking at now, and at the moment I am in the listening process and taking views from all parties, especially via consultations, because this is very important to me before I make any decisions related to the Education Ministry.

“The consultation process involves the ministry’s secretary-general, education directors, teachers, stakeholders, parents, and the children themselves. I will take into consideration all views and criticisms levelled at the ministry seriously,” she told reporters here today.

The Nibong Tebal MP was met after the Perdana Kadun Jawi circumcision programme here today for 100 boys, which was officiated by Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow .

Meanwhile, Fadhlina said she would hold a special press conference next week to announce several matters including arising issues and the Education Ministry’s stance on several matters.

She however refused to elaborate on the issues and asked the media to wait.

At the press conference, Fadhlina also congratulated Tanjung MP Lim Hui Ying on her appointment as deputy education minister, which was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last night.

“I welcome her appointment and I believe the appointment is one of the measures to ensure that education is on the track to excellence,” she added. – Bernama, December 10, 2022
