News Update

[Holiday post coming up...soon. XD]

News.

Sometimes, i do not understand how certain Malaysians think. They actually object to the policy where Science and Mathematics are taught in English. How i wish those two subjects were taught in English when i was in primary school. Probably they can use both languages, English and bahasa ibunda, when they teach those two subjects. I believe students can really cope better in secondary school when they are exposed Science and Maths in English in their primary education. It's good that one wants to promote one's own language and culture but at the same time one has to realise that in the real world, English is more widely used in any workfield. If the students from the rural cannot catch up when the two subjects are being taught in English, all they have to do is work even harder! If this system whereby Science and Maths are taught in English is abolished, when will the rural students ever learn how to use and speak proper English and when will they ever get motivated to study English? It's time for the government to stop lowering the existing standard just because the students cannot reach up to the government's target.

News.

Whoa i am really happy that someone actually brought this up in the newspaper. That system should be abolished by now.
