The Cabinet has decided that all national primary and secondary schools will teach Science and Mathematics in Bahasa Melayu and Vernacular schools in either Chinese or Tamil respectively beginning 2012.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin
The Government made this decision after studying in detail the result of studies and close monitoring of the PPSMI by the Education Ministry and independent bodies since the policy was implemented in 2003.
Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin said, the policy will be implemented in stages for Year One, Year Four, Form One and Form Four in 2012.
The changes do not involve Form Six and Matriculation students. All examinations for Science and Mathematics will remain bilingual until 2014, so as to not jeopardize the performance of students under the current policy - Teaching of Science and Mathematics in English or its official abbreviation PPSMI (Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris).
A Contemporary English Literature Programme For Children to inculcate the reading habit and introduce elements of literature will be introduced.
English labs will be set up in schools to help students learn the language more effectively, incorporating information technology through the use of appropriate software.
To expose students to scientific terms, elements of science and technology will be absorbed into the teaching of English.
