COMMENT | The opposition against PPSMI is dead against its revival simply on the grounds of nationalism.
| Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohammed’s announcement of the teaching of science and mathematics in English has been received with mixed feelings.
There are others who think the introduction of PPSMI might contradict with the widely held notion that science and mathematics must be taught in the respective mother tongues of the various ethnic communities in Malaysia. The compromise through the adoption of the Dual Language Program , though well-intentioned, was fraught with practical difficulties such as the lack of competence among teachers in English to outright opposition from the vernacular and national schools.
Mahathir might be right in coming up with this policy, and this is something that needs to be rethought and planned carefully in terms of its implementation.
