Education New Style. TVET is doing it right this whole time?

-

Sebelum ini hilang dari otak, elok aku tulis disini walaupun most probably this gonna be another messy brain dump.

Aku melihat trrend atau style menarik yang dibuat oleh budak yang kerja kilang. Their timeline goes like this;

  1. belajar sampai SPM atau sijil kemahiran
  2. masuk kilang dan bekerja dari bawah
  3. selepas beberapa tahun, dah mahir dalam satu bahagian
  4. nampak potensi, ada kemahiran dan minat bahagian ini
  5. sambung belajar part time dalam bidang kemahiran ini sahaja
  6. 2-3 tahun kemudian, lebih mahir dalam bidang itu PLUS ada sijil/ diploma spesific 
  7. naik pangkat atau gaji naik 

Budak yang ada sekadar  sijil basic tadi kadang gaji lebih tinggi dari engineer.

Umur lebih muda, kemahiran spesific bidang lebih dalam, gaji lebih tinggi. Malah dia seronok sebab buat kerja yang memang dia minat dan suka.

Dan kita? Budak degree yang selepas bertahun belajar either:

  • tak minat pun apa yang dia belajar
  • tak tahu nak kerja apa lepas habis belajar
  • bidang yang dipelajari dah tak relevan bila habis belajar
  • hutang PTPTN

Menarik gak isu Sadiq cakap kat Parlimen baru ni tentang rakyat Malaysia yang buang banyak masa bertahun di universiti dengan course yang tak membantu berbanding student negara lain yang masih muda.

Kita dah kalah dari umur, masa dan course relevan dengan orang luar.

That's why I think the technical kids already figure this out already. Truly now is "C student" time to shine and control the world. ( C student here refer to Kiyosaki definition, I'm not talking about their education grade to downgrade anyone ok)

Besides, I still its crazy that we put on them the responsibility to choose a course that will determined their whole life job & career. That's crazy when they dont even get the chance to try anything, let alone a lot of thing before making decision.

So, this my thought.

  1. Get the basic education
  2. As early as you can, enter the work space.
  3. Put your head down and work for few years. Learn what you do best and what you enjoy doing that also makes money.
  4. Go & learn that spesific skill while still working on the job.
  5. Then do the job, make the money, enjoy working & living.
  6. When you feel bored, learn new thing at the basic level.

Then, continue the cycle again.

And we dont even start talking about the possibility that home-schooling gonna be a thing in the next 10 years and Malaysia aint ready for this.
