There is a bullying case highlighted in mainstream media recently. Gangsterism in school is getting more serious now a day. Such problem is not that serious previously, Why?
I remember during the time when I attend secondary school. I do encounter such problem when study Form 1 and Form 2. However, the problem diminished when enter Form 3.
This is because student have to prepare for Sijil Rendah Pelajaran(S.R.P) Examination. Student unable to proceed to Form 4 if they fail in such examination. After the examination. Those "Gangster" usually disqualify to proceed to Form 4. Some able to make it, but those who make it usually either they have change or his gang has disappear and he left without any support.
However, recent change from SRP to PMR examination which student able to proceed to Form 4 regarless they have pass the examination (PMR) has remove such mechanism(disqualification). Student need not study hard to ensure that they able secure a place in Form 4. Thus, their extra time would spend on undesired activities like gangterism.
Further, those problem student, even fail in PMR, able to proceed to Form 4 to continue creating problem to others. Unlike previous SRP system where such people has been disqualify.
Solution to this problem is made PMR examination like SRP exam previously. Those fail in PMR has to transfer to a "Special Sekolah berasrama penuh" to seperate them from good student. Ideally, such school should be those under-utilized school in remote area(Kampung). Thus, government need not close down such under- utilized school, and bad student able to be separated from good one. Bad student now become unable to provide bad influence to good student. Thus, killing two bird in one stone.
Student has discipline problem and those expel from school due to disciplinary problem would be send to such "Special sekolah berasrama penuh". Thus without sending them to job market earlier and have to settle with low prospect and low pay job like now. This, I feel would reduced gangterism and bullying problem face by our education system recently.
