Pedang samurai mana?

There are various reasons why some parents enrolled their kids into CIS. In most cases, I would say that the decision comes from the parents & not the students themselves.

While I don't claim to represent all CIS parents, these are the common reasons:

1) Perceived deterioration of quality of education in SMK / SMJK. The abolishment of UPSR & PMR / PT3 gave the impression that students are no longer assessed closely & UASA is not a fair assessment in assigning students to the relevant secondary control schools.

2) The ever-changing policy of DLP where science & math are being taught in English spooked some of the parents. For example, just a year ago, 11 SMJKs in Penang were taken to task for not allocating a class where science & math are taught solely in BM. No parent is going to volunteer to have their kids being allocated that particular class.

3) CIS instills better discipline & some put high emphasis in building noble characteristics not only during schooling hours but also at home. Teen years are when kids can get rebellious & go off track so having someone to reel them in is a welcomed aspect.

4) UEC is perceived to be harder than KBSM. For those in SMK / SMJK, their only route is to take SPM but for UEC students, they have options by the 5th year. having options are always a good thing.

5) Since nons are already at an disadvantage due to the limited quota to enter matrikulasi & how STPM has very limited space allocated in UPU, parents don't how CIS is any different compared to SMK / SMJK. However, in the even that Edumin somehow removed the inequality (fat chance), parents still have 5 years to consider having their kids "return"' to the SPM route.

These are just some of the conversations that I've had with CIS parents throughout the last few years.

Cmon, look at your posts and responses already know....
