State education minister says the two subjects will be taught in English at 891 primary schools except in Chinese primary schools.
KUCHING: The teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in English in Sarawak will only begin with primary one next year, state Education, Science and Technological Research Minister Michael Manyin.
On April 24, Education Minister Maszlee Malik announced that Sarawak will be the first state to implement the teaching and learning of the two subjects in English for primary schools. Mahathir said the approach would allow schools to choose whether to teach the two subjects in English or Malay because some Malaysians supported the idea while others were opposed to it.
These included the training of teachers, production of resource materials and the assessment and examination format.“I believe that in the next six to seven years, the standard of English among our pupils will improve,” he said.
