acquire higher education; the consciousness, which is quite widespread, is still
spreading. As a consequence, more and more graduates are coming out from
both urban and rural areas. That is the overall change that has successfully been
initiated, which must be continued.
In other words, continuous efforts must be made to talk to the people as the
task of modernizing education is time consuming and involving every level of the
society. Basically, the task of pushing for a higher standard of education should not
be left to teachers alone. The teachers must necessarily become the operators but
they require a lot of support from the community. They need the community support
as an encouragement to become more dedicated in their jobs; they could become
less motivated if they do not get suficient support from the community.
In this regard, Residents and district oficers should cultivate relationship
with teachers as people, who can help to inluence the young people to appreciate
ideas like the necessity to develop healthy society and make appropriate choices
In addition to formal training given to
civil servants, they are encouraged to take
part in workshops, seminars, conferences
where they have the opportunity to upgrade
their knowledge and network with other
participants from other parts of Malaysia or
overseas.
