National Language Literacy Rate?

When I started this long journey....

I actually think that we have failed with our "experiment" with national language and even propose to have a National Language Failure Index be created and monitored annually...

As a man of numbers.....besides economics and financial data.....my current interest revolves around Education and National Language Data of Malaysian population....

here are some of my wish list.....

1. National Language Literacy Rate by Each Race and Age Group
2. % Enrollment by type of School (National Vs Vernacular) by each Race this number is to be derived from the Total School Going population of each race by Year of Enrollment
3. Evolution of Vernacular Schoolkids broken down into migration to National School, Private Vernacular School, International Schools (Local/International) and its corresponding dropout rate- this number should then be analysed in terms of their overall performance in comparison to National School Kids in Bahasa Malaysia, English and Maths/Science subjects (to check PPSMI actual performance)
4. Further evolution of this numbers into how they progressed after SPM broken down by Those for STPM, Matriculation, Private Colleges (Domestic & International) and the dropout rate for both National and Vernacular Stream students

These are the basic requirements for all of us to start talking with Credible data in tackling the Single Stream.......when I talk about credible I don't mean statements by Politician or Interest Group......I want hard facts with numbers and how those numbers are derived.....

As an initial feeler....have a look at this Unesco Data on IlliteracyThat was 1957 and the numbers were not broken down by race........I wonder how high is the current % of Citizens who could not communicate in the National Language and of what race/primary education background are they?

I wish that the Government is more serious about dealing with this matter instead of just issuing statements without any credible facts........

errr....Muhyiddin.......when you are more transparent with the real data, your eventual decision on how best to progress will no longer be in the "pancing undi" mode.....

Talk cock time is over people......lets face this one head on.....
