Malaysia Universities Grading System Failed in the AI Era

-

I am the CEO at Softinn. One of my jobs is hiring. Over the past few years, I have noticed discrepancies between CGPA results and students' capabilities.

What I observed:

1. On average, the CGPA of the graduates went up while the capability of the students went down.


What I suspect:

1. The universities move towards an assignment-based grading system. Instead of exam-based, Malaysia MOE goes for assignment-based grading to reduce the overemphasis on academic results. The execution of this wasn't well-coordinated. We ended up moving away from academic results to "no result".


The future is bleak for the graduates, especially in the AI era. We created an environment that produces talent that is not ready. It's not fully the graduates' fault. We failed as a system. I hate to see government agencies holding event after event, workshop after workshop, dialogue after dialogue instead of actually getting things done. Most of these events ended up being a photo-taking session; it's a pure waste of our money at the expense of our future. I feel sorry for the graduates who are now struggling to secure a job.
