The failed programme --Teaching Maths and Science in English

As many have known that the government, especially the Ministry of Education is controlled by a bunche of people who know how to eat but not to think.

Take a look of it, 6 years since the programme started by Dr M, and 6 years later we still hear the excuse the teacher cannot control the language, so called English, though the terms are not in English, mostly are in Latin and Greek.

What kind of lame excuse, 6 years to master his/her area of content and still cannot do it. If the ministry of Education would issue the warning, who could master the language of content in 3 years have to vacant the seat for the ones who can, be a clerk in the school or a sweeper. I am very sure they will learn it.

Now the silly mininstry is throwing millions of ringgit for the 'teachers' and no result yield. We ask the pupils to yield result but never ask the teachers to do the same too.

It is a rubbish to accept the reason that the results are not good as the teachers are not able to teach in English.

Look at the bilingual system in Thailand.

Besides, do not equate learning Maths and Science in English will improve the English language, which is a wrong concept, however, there is a help.

If giving more periods can ensure the quality and standard of English , let us do it this way, the vice versa, provides more periods of learning for Bahasa Melayu, the rest of the subjects are conducted in English language. Isn't this the feasible way ? If the theory prove to be true.

Use the upper head to think lah.

My daughter is less than 2 years old and she can understand both English and Japanese, and later will introduce Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese.

I can't see why we cannot take 1 step forward to integrate the BM textbooks few years back with the current English science and maths text books. Its a lot of effort, but why move backward instead of forward. We can allow students to use either English or BM to answer in the exams as long as the maths and science principles are correct.

Some good will surely come out of the dialectics at work between both languages instead of choosing either one. We need new advancements. We need Malaysia Boleh. Not some power struggle between languages.

When will Malaysia advance and not hold on to race and language as stumbling blocks but embrace our differences as advantages?
