妇女组文告 Extract of press release [3] -- 多源流教育制度不是国民团结的绊脚石

多源流教育制度不是国民团结的绊脚石!

马华妇女组全国署理主席拿督尤绰韬认为多源流教育制度并不是国民团结的绊脚石，更不是种族问题发生的根源。马华妇女组不同意实行单一源流教育制度的建议，因为，自从我国推行多源流教育制度以来，各族除了发展各自的母语教育以外，也灌输国民团结意识及爱国理念。在原有的教育制度下，各源流学校已经朝向多元发展，这已成为我国一项特色，甚至已成为国家的一项优势。除此，联邦宪法保障各族群学习母语的权利，历史也已证明各源流学校在我国有存在的价值，这与我国首相纳吉所提出的“一个马来西亚”治国理念是一致的，有助国家发展成真正公平，繁荣进步的先进国。

Multiple-Stream Education system no obstacle to national unity

Wanita MCA National Deputy Chairman Dato’ Yu Chok Tow says the multiple-stream education system is neither a stumbling block to national unity nor the cause of racial issues. She adds that Wanita MCA disagree with the proposed single-stream system as the multiple-stream system practised by the nation since her independence has allowed various communities to develop their respective mother tongue education and instilled awareness on national unity and patriotism among Malaysians. In addition, under the existing education system, schools of various streams are advancing in a diversified manner, thus giving it a unique feature and even competitive edge in the nation. Furthermore, the Federal Constitution safeguards the rights of various communities to learn its mother tongue. History has proved that schools of various streams are valuable asset of the nation. This is in line with the “1 Malaysia” concept mooted by our Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak and will contribute towards the achievement of our goal of developing into a fair, prosperous and progressive country.
