Ka Siong: All stakeholders gave their input
THE National Education Blueprint was drawn up after soliciting views from all stakeholders, including Barisan Nasional component parties.
Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong, who explained this, said all political parties were invited to a roundtable on June 25 this year to give their input.
He said 12,000 stakeholders participated in 33 roundtable dialogues and 16 town hall meetings nationwide.
The blueprint was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak earlier this month.
It outlined 11 shifts required to transform the national education system to be on par with and comparable to that of developed nations, over the next 13 years.
In his speech, Gerakan Youth chief Datuk Lim Si Pin alleged that Gerakan and smaller Barisan component parties were not invited to provide feedback in the run-up to the tabling of the blueprint.
On Budget 2013, Dr Wee, who is the MCA Youth chief, described it as a realistic approach in helping the people.
"The Budget covers all aspects of the country and shows that the Government is sincerely on the people's side," he said after attending the Gerakan Youth delegates conference.
