Budget 2022 debate: Wan Rizal on redefining success and nurturing better mental health
A “whole-of-society approach” is needed to change mindsets on education and perceptions of learning and success; this can begin with redefining what exams mean. MP Wan Rizal said this in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 1). He said ditching "minor exams" could help nurture the concept of lifelong learning and even result in better mental health. In his speech, he also touched on work-life balance, calling on employers to give workers time off to disconnect and recharge. In the digital era, problems like cyberbullying and online shaming are also taking a mental health toll. Dr Wan Rizal said tackling these issues must start with the community as a whole.
