PdP: Kerajaan Perlu Dengar Rintihan Ibu Bapa

HARI ini hari kedua anak-anak kita menjalani sesi Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran (PdP) secara atas talian di rumah.

Namun banyak rungutan saya terima semalam iaitu hanya selepas sehari ia mula dilaksanakan di seluruh negara.

Ramai mengadu di Facebook saya tentang kekangan dihadapi ibu bapa bagi membantu anak-anak mengikuti PdP secara maya.

Kekangan paling banyak diketengahkan adalah gajet tidak mencukupi untuk ibu bapa yang mempunyai ramai anak.

Kekangan kedua komputer riba atau telefon bimbit yang mereka ada untuk digunakan anak-anak spesifikasi lama.

Kekangan ketiga masalah jaringan internet terutama bagi keluarga yang menetap di kawasan pendalaman.

Rungutan ini masih timbul disebalik pengumuman pelepasan cukai khas sehingga 2,500 ringgit ke atas pembelian telefon bimbit,
komputer dan tablet serta pemberian percuma data 1 Gigabit.

Mungkin kerana pengumuman itu masih belum dapat membantu sepenuhnya mereka dalam berhadapan kekangan tersebut.

Apa yang pasti, para ibu bapa ini dalam dilema. Dibelenggu kerisauan. Tiada ibu bapa mahu lihat anak mereka ketinggalan dalam pendidikan.

Permasalahan ini pernah ditimbulkan rakyat semasa PKP 1.0, tetapi tiada penyelesaian secara total sebelum PKP 2.0 dilaksanakan.

Beberapa hari lalu saya sendiri ada bangkitkan semula kebimbangan ini, namun tiada sambutan daripada pihak berwajib.

Dalam posting itu saya sertakan cadangan kaedah tambahan untuk memudahkan anak-anak kita mendapat akses pendidikan.

Saya cadangkan salah satu saluran televisyen milik kerajaan digunakan sepenuhnya untuk tujuan pembelajaran anak-anak.

Slot siaran boleh dibahagikan mengikut matapelajaran dan subjek teras untuk murid tahun 1 hingga 6 serta pelajar tingkatan 1 hingga 5.

Pelajar dikehendaki mengikut jadual masa pembelajaran yang ditentukan KPM melalui saluran pendidikan di televisyen itu.

Mohon jangan ambil mudah keluhan ibu bapa ini. Anak-anak mereka juga berhak mendapat pendidikan yang sewajarnya.

Jika cadangan saya itu ada kewajarannya, saya pohon pihak berwajib teliti kesesuaiannya.

Andai bermanfaat laksanakanlah. Pejam mata sahaja cadangan ini dari saya jika ia dapat membantu.

Andai cadangan ini kurang manfaat, carilah jalan lain untuk membantu ibu bapa serta anak-anak ini.

Negara perlukan generasi berilmu.

PdP: Listen to the parents

TODAY is the second day our children undergo online Teaching and Learning (PdP) sessions at home.
However, I received many complaints yesterday, only after a day it was implemented throughout the country. Many complained on my Facebook about the constraints faced by parents in helping our their children on the PdP.
The most common constraint is not enough gadgets for parents who have many children.
Second is the outdated specification of the laptops or cell phones in use.
Third is the internet problem, notably those in rural areas.
Such complaints still arise at the back of the government announcement that a special tax relief of up to 2,500 ringgit is up for grab on the purchase of mobile phones, computers and tablets as well as the free provision of 1 Gigabit data.
The announcement is deemed as not sufficient to overcome such predicaments.
They are in a dilemma. Shackled by anxiety. No parents want to see their child lagging in education. This problem was once raised by the people during PKP 1.0 but there was no total solution before PKP 2.0 was implemented.
A few days ago I myself raised this concern but there was no response from the authorities. In that post, I include suggestions for additional methods to make it easier for our children to get access to education.
I suggest one of the government-owned television channels be fully utilized for the purpose of children’s learning. Broadcast slots can be divided according to core subjects n years 1 to 6 as well as form 1 to 5 students. Students are required to follow the learning schedule set by the MOE through the educational channel on the television.
Please do not take it lightly. Their children have rights for better education.
If my proposal is justified, I would like to ask the authorities to consider its suitability. If it is useful, do it. If it is otherwise, look for other ways to help them.
The country needs a knowledgeable generation.
