Day 15: Vocational Schools

Then having gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us… (Romans 12:6a)

Some children find their niche in life in the academic spheres whereas others are gifted in the non-academic areas. Currently, our education system places too much emphasis on the academic. Although Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) students who acquire borderline passes are allowed to continue their studies to Form 4, many end up showing little interest in the academic subjects while others end up as truants and drop-outs, throwing their future away. In response to this situation, NECF has initiated plans to set up a vocational school in the near future. The government should also look into this and provide an alternative for the talented students who are not interested in academic pursuits.

Prayer Points:

• More vocational schools to be established
• License to be granted for NECF vocational school project from the Education Department
