Abang Ghaf Reflection on the Issues of Innovation

Below is the view of Abang Ghaf on Innovation. Since I took this from him, I
italicized the wording. Happy reading.

Everything is cared to nurture the brains to actively be innovated in all
faculties . Nutritionists announce that rice water is nutritional for the brains .
We use to hear that practice makes perfect , so does the brains need
practices . Besides , the key to designation is the requirement for a conducive
environment of innovation to naturally developed .

Schooling and training are worthy for insight in trust for innovative minds
toward technological building up . The priority area targeted is at our National
schooling of vocational training of the secondary level . With much awareness
and concerned , 80% of our work force are dropouts and in great need for
proactive trainings for our human resource .

With due respect , our vocational secondary level is in need for overhaul .
There are shortfalls of fundamental to ensure of being creative and innovative
in their natural course . Lack of contents that could drive off for creativeness
and innovative minds at this training juncture is assumed neglect . In absent ,
these have discouraged and hampered the minds to be sensitive toward of
being innovative , creative , lost the element of curiosity and to be habitually
challenging thus unproductive .

In referring to specific case about our vocational formal training , if we look at
its curriculum , syllabus and practical workshops , the pedagogy is missing to
meet the higher form of innovative minds which are in demand and that
required initial training at the secondary level . And therefore the technological
training is under stressed , they are far behind so thus the minds of the
trainees too .

The vocational blue print should be revised and the proactive metrology to be
implemented according to technological needs , changes and has had to
anticipate for new technological challenges . It should be done 20 years ago .
As a result , we find automative mechanic become ' replaced mechanic ' and
welders just become robots to welding . They stop at that .

Creative and innovation for minds are fundamentally designation to conduct ,
in teaching , training and learning . And if the responsible director of the
Ministry is just researching on how to have the new blue print posted on the
the drawing board , it would take another 25 years before we could see a
certified innovative minds in our vocational schools thus our technological
industries are dimmed .

In the area of vocational automative , the definition of being innovative is
simply the setting up of the right environment . The process of training which
allow the trainees to be innovative . Meaning by emphasizing , 70% is
vocational and 30% is academic . The 70% of the vocational is divided into
two parts . One is learning via computed lab and the other half is the
workshops with technological appliances , hands on training for the trainees .

We can just imagine the effectiveness learning via computer . Eg. on
automative , here the students can vitalize the total designed engine . They
can overhaul the engine and gain fast understanding of their functions ,
dissect them to parts and place them back . The innovation prevails .

In this program the understand level is elevated . In this process also their
extra thinking miles trigger their creativity and innovative . And above all , it is
exciting and interesting which create curiosity which is the premise of being
innovative and creative at the prime age of the secondary level .
