馬來西亞教育水準一落千丈，尤其在醫科學系更嚴重！許多不諳英語的大學畢業生紛紛離開醫學崗位，人數超過1000人，其中絕大部分是馬來學生！

這些獲得政府獎學金或PTPTN貸學金的醫科學生，畢業後不願意繼續進修或到政府醫院當醫務人員的理由包括嫌棄工作環境不夠舒服；不願服侍病患；缺乏與病患的溝通能力等等，但是最大的問題還是在於他們的英語能力太差，對許多病理分析文字和醫學講解完全不懂而打退堂鼓。
這不僅是這些大學生的失敗，也是馬來西亞教育政策的失敗，更是國恥！
根據馬來西亞醫藥協會馬六甲分會主席納加班醫生透露，許多英文程度很差的大學醫科畢業生，都因為跟不上醫學研究發展無法進修而主動放棄當醫務人員的工作。
尤其世界主要的醫學報告和研究，還有許多高深的醫學知識都是以英文書寫，很多專用醫學名詞對這些英語根基不好的大學生來說，太深奧了。
納加班醫生說，超過1000名醫科畢業生主動離開醫療崗位，已經凸顯了一個嚴重的問題：馬來西亞的教育水準因為不重視英語而越來越往下掉了。
這些不願繼續當醫務人員的大學畢業生，即使畢業之前已經在醫院當過兩年實習生，也不能引起他們當醫生護士的興趣。
《他們離職的原因很多，其中包括嫌工作環境不夠舒服；自視過高；孤芳自賞；對醫學課程不感興趣；與病患之間缺乏溝通能力；缺乏愛心與耐心等等；不過最主要還是在於英語掌握能力太差，聽不懂也看不明白各種國際醫學研究報告和資料。》納加班說：《尤其是他們在大學最後兩年必須到醫院實習的時候，很明顯聽不懂看不明白各種醫學名詞和講解，這些比較深奧的英文講義，對他們來說猶如鴨子聽雷，有聽沒有懂。》
納加班醫生認為，大馬教育局必須趕緊修正教育方針，從小學開始就必須打好他們的英語基礎，否則到了中學才學英語已經來不及了。
這些年來，有水準和能力強的醫生都離開政府醫院自立門戶，留在政府醫院的實習醫生水準明顯已經往下掉，如果教育政策不及時修正，強化學習英文英語的能力，那麼，未來我們將看到大馬醫科水平不斷往下，再也難以挽回頹勢。
他補充說，未來學校也將會越來越明顯的發現，就讀醫科的學生越來越少，因為他們的英語水平根本跟不上，理解能力太差，不敢報讀醫科，這對大馬醫科學術的發展非常不利。
他也痛批政府的教育政策不斷在開倒車；尤其是針對學生學習能力下降的問題，教育部根本沒有正視問題的癥結在哪裡，沒有想過如何提升學生的學術成績，卻一味為了遷就學生而將教育素質水平的門檻不斷降低，考試題目也儘量簡化讓學生容易回答容易拿高分。這樣的教育政策，只會年年為社會製造大量外強中乾、水準低劣的畢業生，如何能夠令國家富強？
1,000 trainee doctors quit due to poor English, report says
Their poor command of the English language made it difficult for the Malay trainee doctors to keep up with their peers.
Poor English proficiency has led over 1,000 medical graduates to quit their ambitions to become doctors, Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) Malacca chapter president Prof Dr M. Nachiappan said.
Dr Nachiappan said this is even though the graduates have completed their two-year housemanship in public hospitals.
「The main reason was poor grasp of English. This is not good for the medical fraternity and does not augur well for the nation if stakeholders do not execute some plans to improve the standard of English,」 he was quoted saying in the English daily's report today.
Other factors, he said, included the graduates' lack of interest in medical training, their poor relationship skills with patients and their frustrations over working conditions.
He also said that their poor command of the English language made it diffic
ult for the trainee doctors to keep up with their peers.
「There must be an urgency to improve the grasp of the language at the primary level. Otherwise, the quality of doctors will go downhill,」 said Dr Nachiappan, who is also deputy dean of the Melaka Manipal Medical College.
He added that schools were also finding it hard to produce medical graduates of quality due to their lack of exposure to English from an early age.
He pointed out that most reference books on medicine, as well as lectures, are conducted in English.
「The quality of our students is compromised due to their inabilities to communicate in English,」 he was quoted saying.
Parent groups have been lobbying the government to reintroduce the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in English (PPSMI), a policy introduced in 2003 but discontinued seven years later.
English-language lobbyist such as the Parents Action Group for Education (PAGE) continue to push for the return of — or at least the option for parents to choose — the discontinued policy that they contend was needed to improve the mastery of English as well as technical subjects.
The Education Ministry recently made it mandatory for students sitting for the SPM to pass the English language examination beginning 2016.
