Oh the irony, the year-end school holidays are here and all I can think about is this new documentary about schools! I was reading The Guardian today, which featured a new independent documentary curiously titled We Are The People We've Been Waiting For, which explores the relevance of the UK school system, including whether the education system is too academic focused.
The documentary isn't available outside of the UK yet as it only premiered last week (in the UK), but the trailer is availabe on YouTube and it is quite impressive. The movie website is at http://www.wearethepeoplemovie.com/.
The article in The Guardian and documentary concept is food for thought for educators, especially in Malaysia, whose school system draws heavily from the British system.
What questions should we, as educators, be asking ourselves and our superiors? And are we Malaysians brave enough to subject ourselves to public scrutiny and very likely criticisms in the quest to give our children the quality education they deserve?
