[edit]Education
[edit]Zakri Hassan has claimed that religious schools in Perlis outperform national schools in Perlis according to the data in Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia between the years of 2023 and 2024.[5] He also said that more religious schools should be built instead of secular schools, stating: "These schools perform better than secular schools ran by the Ministry of Education."[6] He had also said that the Ministry of Education must work harder to balance the Islamic curriculum, technology and humanity, stating: "Technology moves at lighting speed like AI, while religious questions of humanity are more statistical in nature. If we pursue technology too much, we will miss out on matters such as spirituality and religion."[7]
Zakri Hassan had also said that bullying in Malaysia could be eradicated if teachers showed the bullies some care, and that constant scolding and harshly treating them is going to make the bullies even worser.[8]
