Academic Jeniri Amir says education should be above political differences.
Sarawak Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg says teaching Science and Mathematics in English will require a large budget.
Jeniri Amir of Univerisiti Malaysia Sarawak said the state government requires financial support to train teachers and improve their proficiency in the English language. “These two require quite a big budget,” he added. “It has to be a joint obligation between the Sarawak and federal governments, but the education ministry said they may have problems.”
The Malaysian English Language Teaching Association said it is ready to help the state government train teachers, adding that previous attempts to teach Science and Mathematics in English failed in part because many teachers were unprepared.Melta president Ganakumaran Subramaniam said lack of resources had also played a role, and noted concerns over teachers not having the proficiency to teach these subjects in English.
