In my response article, I would like to argue that the capitalist- and grade-driven nature of the Malaysian education industry, specifically at tertiary level, is why a passionate educator is necessary. We must remember that the tertiary education industry was designed to function like a think tank — an avenue for learners to develop advanced cognitive thinking and consequently, find their place in this world .
It is not an easy task to bridge the gap between educators and students but a good educator does not encourage their students to remain passive learners. A good educator strives to improve the flawed education system within their means, in other words, in their classrooms and their specialised fields.
