January 18 2024- Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim, the chairman of the Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE), emphasizes the need for the Education Ministry to establish a clear goal to address declining reading literacy among students. She urges schools to prioritize the well-being of their students and calls for increased autonomy in the education system. Noor Azimah suggests regular monitoring and interventions until literacy targets are achieved and highlights the importance of fostering a love for reading in children. The statement comes in response to the recent Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) 2022 results, which revealed a concerning decline in reading, mathematical, and scientific literacy in Malaysia and globally due to challenges faced during the pandemic.
