KUALA KANGSAR: Education will continue to be among the country\u2019s top priorities despite the global uncertainty caused by the energy crisis, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister said this is to ensure that the quality of education for future generations is not affected.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur current stance is to ensure that projects (educational facilities) are approved and implemented immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no reason to delay approved projects, except for large-scale ones that require a longer timeframe.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, smaller projects, especially in education and healthcare, will be prioritised,\u201d he said at a meet-and-greet session with students and alumni of SMK Clifford Kuala Kangsar.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister pointed out that due to conflicts and disputes, many countries channel significant funds towards security.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result, funding for education tends to be sidelined. Future generations will be affected when the quality of education and its facilities decline,\u201d he said, Bernama reported.<\/p>\n
He said that within the education system, the inculcation of values and proper conduct must not be neglected.<\/p>\n
It should remain a priority among educators in producing a generation with strong morals and character, Anwar added.<\/p>\n
At another event, the Prime Minister said that the foundation of character building and morals should not be ignored while pursuing knowledge.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnsure our education does not leave out the very basic aspects.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcellence must be accompanied by conscience, awareness and enlightenment,\u201d he said in his speech during his visit to Kolej Melayu Kuala Kangsar.<\/p>\n
He said while how information, knowledge and wisdom are being used is important, it is equally crucial that one is able to filter through information.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all rushing to obtain information, but not all information is knowledge. Some information can be damaging,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KUALA KANGSAR: Education will continue to be among the country\u2019s top priorities despite the global uncertainty caused by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[47900,72,170576,8954,113,61,60,23872,170575,170578,170577,43329],"class_list":{"0":"post-382459","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-anwar-ibrahim","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-character-building","11":"tag-college","12":"tag-economy","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-knowledge","16":"tag-kuala-kangsar","17":"tag-mckk","18":"tag-morals","19":"tag-values"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
