PPSMI

Title : Issues in Teaching and Learning Mathematics and Science in English

The issues of teaching Mathematics and Science in English has been a debate since its implementatiton and still being argued by everybody especially between those who wanted to re-adopt Bahasa Melayu and those who wanted English to be taught for the sake of producing students who are competent in English as well as in both subjects respectively.

It is clear that Malaysian had difficulty to accept new changes.It had been decided that PPSMI will be stopped in 2012. The issue of making English as a must pass subject in SPM is still under discussion. The idea of PPSMI is actually good but the implementation had not been effective. English is becoming more and more important. Hopefully, the government will make English a must pass subject for SPM because nowadays students pay more attention to science and mathematics because they think it is more important.

the abolishment of english in science & maths is solely derived from political selfishness!

the issue of abolishing PPSMI shouldn't be made as political issue. However, this is the current scenario. It's a shame to know that our education is at danger because of politics!
