Educational Excellence is Just Mind Over Matter

The University Sains Malaysia was conferred the APEX University status recently, acknowledging its superiority among the rest of public educational institutions in Malaysia. But where English is concerned, I would not hold my breath - as seen in the congratulatory chest-beating which ran in the local print media.

And if this advertisement is anything to measure its education excellence by, then the past products of the varsity should take a hard look at their slips. Afterall, educational excellence is purely mind over matter. If you dont mind, it doesnt matter. And if it was you alma mater, then you should correct the matter. Mater I mean - before you run another ad.
