PETALING JAYA: The Education Ministry needs to pull its socks up to resolve issues around the Dual Language Programme (DLP) classes and ensure sufficient teaching staff, say educationists and education groups.
While parents have been given the choice, they said the onus is on the ministry to ensure that the DLP – where students learn Science and Mathematics in English – continues.
He said Malaysia has many experienced teachers, including part-time and retired ones, who can be roped in to teach. We are living in a digital world, and most of it is also in English,” he said, adding that learning any language is an asset. A group of parents from SJK Jalan Yahya Awal in Johor staged a demonstration in protest of the DLP classes being reduced at the school.
“The convenient excuse, always, is that teachers are not ready. This, too, was the excuse given by the ministry when PPSMI was abolished,” she added.
