Information 2

•Some schools in the State are withholding or sweeping disciplinary problems under the carpet, hoping that the Education Department will not find out.

•If left unchecked, might recur in more damaging manner that could mar the reputation of the schools concerned.

•Schools had remained silent on student disciplinary problem that is why their discipline files, when shown to school inspectors.

•Schools are required to submit a disciplinary report to the Education Department every three months but if they encounter serious problems such as fighting or drug abuse, they have to report them immediately.

Information 1

· The facilities in school (such as the basketball and tennis courts) are poorly maintained and / or broken is one of the consequences of failing discipline (as well as other factors such as perceived Islamization, quality of teaching, facilities etc...)

· The greater pervasiveness of gangs who can and will exploit many of these kids, the greater accessibility of 'distractions' such as internet cafes and shopping malls.

· Parents, especially non-Malay parents, sending their kids to private schools. Many smart Malays have already left the national school system at the secondary level - they are sent residential schools where the facilities, teachers and arguably discipline levels are better than the average national secondary school.

· The fact that many families are dual income families and many parents don't have the time to 'take care' of their children.

· The situation in many semi-urban / semi-rural schools might be better because the communities are closer knit and there are fewer distractions in these places compared to big cities.

· Bringing back corporal punishment in the form of public caning should be considered. I know that many people think that this form of punishment is outdated but I think there's still a place for the cane as a form of punishment in our schools.

· There's a way to ensure that the process of caning a student, in a public arena, to shame this student as well as to warn others can be done in a way which is acceptable to both parents and administrators.

· ‘No tolerance' policy such that students who are caught vandalizing school property can be punished heavily so that a signal is sent out to the other students.

· Volunteer mentor programs can be established with trusted members of the community to befriend some of the more problematic students and help them along the way.

· With a better learning environment, better motivated teachers and better facilities, perhaps some of these kids, who in 'normal' circumstances, would not have learned much in school and probably would not continue to receive education at the college / university level, could find a path towards higher education and a better life for themselves and their families.
