By this time, every Malaysian would have already known about the UPSR examination leak that resulted in nearly 470 000 pupils resitting for the examination. Many students would have gotten access to the leak using social media. Social media is an easy path to disseminate information quickly. As an example, students can share among themselves in secret groups in Facebook where they are unlikely to be caught. This negative act cannot be blamed on social media but social media certainly have had a hand in spreading these leaks and even the news of the leaks. The government has to do a better job in preventing this situation from happening again.

HOW RELATED IS SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE EDUCATION?

Social media and online education are getting interrelated over the years. More lecturers in universities and teachers in schools encourage students to use the social media to learn. For example, students are encouraged and even instructed to put their work online in their blog or even Facebook so that others including their classmates, friends and teachers can see their work, rate them and give constructive remarks. This motivates students to put in more effort in their work, revealing the potential they have within. Personally I think this is a fantastic idea of getting students into a more participative learning environment and making them more interested in learning. However, demoralising and unconstructive feedback should be eliminated as this will demotivate students especially the weaker ones.

SOCIAL MEDIA RUINING STUDENTS' CONFIDENCE
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-health/11220581/Social-media-blamed-for-crisis-of-confidence-in-British-schoolgirls.html
Based on the article, a research conducted in UK this year shows the self esteem of students aged 14 and 15 have touched a significant low. Many students rank the way they look higher than family, school work and activities in terms of importance to them. This is disturbing news for not only UK parents but for parents around the globe as social media is affecting all of us directly and indirectly. Many students actually skip meals and go to school because society or the so called society in the social media especially in Facebook deems them to be overweight. When students do that, they do not have the energy to actually learn their subjects and do sports, causing them to lose out in education. Many students at that age should concentrate on studies rather than what society perceives them to be. Unfortunately. this is what is happening lately. Society condemns overweight people, causing the overweight people to feel unworthy. Imagine this happens to a 15 year old kid who then goes to school and faces another round of condemning because of this. Imagine if this was your child. We should look into this matter seriously and take drastic actions to solve this. Parents should also be more aware of their children's activity in Facebook or any other social medias.

Decreased PTPTN loan amount causes unhappiness to students.
Recently, PTPTN announced that there will be a decrease of 5-15% of loan amount to students in universities either in public or private universities. This cause uneasiness among students that the loan amount will be reduced. Personally, I felt that the increase is not justified because I felt that there is some mismanagement of funds of the government taking place without public knowledge. They could have invested locally instead of investing in things such as the infamous submarine.
