FRONTPAGE- Government to create Super Teachers (Beta)

PUTRAJAYA- Proving that Malaysia is not behind in technology, the government has announced a new scientific innovation for the education system.


"We are going to create Super Teachers." says Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.



This move was made in response to growing concern over the standard of education in this country.
“This is to ensure that the profession is regarded highly. We believe that these new Super Teachers will perform and live up to our expectations.”


Among features of these robotic wonders are improved skills of reading and writing, embedded mp3 players and tetris (new edition).


"They are like the Transformers, only smaller. And they cannot turn into cars."




He states that this feature will be included in the next edition. "This version is understandably at its beta stage. There are still a few things that have to be worked out." They have had a problem in programming the system to "motivate and communicate" with children.

"The initial programming was death and utter destruction, so sometimes they revert back to their old ways." He states that the robots were remnants of a failed government project to deal with public protests and littering.




"We thought that it would be a waste to simply throw away these "Robots of Doom", and decided to turn them into "Caring Robots of Education".





The new Super Teachers will be posted to all schools by the end of this year. The government firmly believes that this will accurately address the problems with the current education system.
