Primary school 5th graders are learning how to calculate car loan interest? The primary school curriculum in our country has once again sparked unreasonable controversy.
Internet-famous teacher Mohammad Fadli recently posted on Facebook again, criticizing the irrational aspects of the primary school curriculum. He expressed that the logic behind the questions set by the Ministry of Education and the teacher training group is truly baffling. Even religious teacher Ustaz Zaharuddin pointed out that this curriculum is excessive.
Whether fifth-grade elementary school students should learn how to calculate car loan interest may vary depending on the country, region, education system, and local societal factors. Some individuals might believe that such content is too complex for elementary students and not suitable for their age group. On the other hand, some people might see this as an opportunity to cultivate practical application skills in students and lay the groundwork for their future learning.
