In a statement, he said, “This is not Radzi Jidin’s syllabus. I want to explain that the syllabus being used today began in 2017, and the process of developing it started long before that.”
Radzi further said that the ministry has been practicing using the same syllabus until the students which entered year one have completed Year six after which a review of the effectiveness of the syllabus is made.
He said that the Education Ministry is always open to teachers’ views and feedback and has always made various transformations keeping that into consideration. “And I think it is not right to say that we don’t listen to views from teachers.” he added.
