KUCHING: The impact of the dual language programme (DLP) in Sarawak schools can only be fully assessed once the first batch of students reaches Form Four, says Datuk Roland Sagah.
The state Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister said this was because the students would be streamed into Science and Arts classes in Form Four.
He said Science and Mathematics teachers as well as non-option teachers were selected for training based on their competencies in English. Sagah said in some isolated cases, especially in low-enrolment schools, a small number of non-option teachers without Science and Mathematics background were selected to teach the DLP.
He added that to date, the task force had made 1,101 assessment visits to schools, involving 3,111 out of 5,200 teachers trained for the programme.He added that the Sarawak DLP was a state initiative fully funded by the state government, with RM15mil spent on the training programme so far. "It also affirms the need for the Sarawak education director to consult and seek advice from the state government and allows for local authorities to continue as agents for primary education.
