PPSMI DOES NOT NEGATE STATUS OF MALAY LANGUAGE
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 (Bernama) -- The teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in English (PPSMI) does not negate the status of the Malay language but will ensure that the young can compete globally.
Cheras Education Foundation chairman Syed Ali AlHabshee said PPSMI was
needed so that students could grasp the concept of subjects in an international
language.
"It will facilitate learning of science and technology as 90 percent of
information on science and mathematics is in English," he said in a statement
here Tuesday.
Syed Ali was commenting the move by the Federation of National Writers
(Gapena) in lodging a police report against the Education Ministry claiming
PPSMI was against the federal constitution and the Education Act 1996.
