Buli siber ikut murid sampai rumah, kadar Malaysia lepasi purata OECD
Menteri pendidikan berkata buli siber kini boleh mengekori murid hingga ke rumah dan mempunyai kaitan dengan pencapaian pembelajaran yang lebih rendah.
Minister of Education Fadhlina Sidek revealed that cyberbullying among Malaysian students has surpassed the average rate of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations and is linked to lower academic achievements. In a press conference, she stated that cyberbullying now extends beyond the school environment due to technology allowing harassment to continue at home.
Fadhlina explained, "School-based bullying may cease when a child returns home, but cyberbullying can accompany them." She emphasized the importance of student safety and well-being, as fear and trauma hinder learning and development. Fadhlina highlighted that the children's digital environment, now an integral part of their lives, must also be considered.
"Their world doesn't stop at the school gate; it moves with them on their phones, in chat rooms, and in the digital space," she added. The development includes an improvement in Malaysia's reading achievement in Pisa 2025, but the literacy challenge is now more complex due to exposure to various information sources, including TikTok, WhatsApp, search engines, and artificial intelligence.
The Pisa 2025 study in Malaysia took place from April 22 to May 30, involving 22,624 students aged 15 across 157 schools and institutions under the Ministry of Education and non-MOE institutions, such as private schools, MRSM, and GiatMara. However, the overall Pisa 2025 ranking has not yet been announced, and the ministry is currently focusing on the domain-specific results.
