Under Harapan, shouldn’t MRSM be for all Malaysians?

COMMENT | I read with bigger concern the way we let ethnocentrism prevail through elitist and well-funded schooling that will continue to reproduce society “separate and unequal” especially when the new government has been talking about “Education for All”.

The MRSM (Mara Junior Science College) system is one example of what I’d call a “successful failure”.

Successful it is in running the school but failing it is in the more important goal of national integration.

In fact, it is an example of a system that has both the hidden and open agenda of promoting a newer brand of Ketuanan Melayu, something that needs to be abandoned...
