Tun M: PPSMI undergoing a review for possible reimplementation

KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 (Bernama) -- The Education Ministry is conducting a review of the Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics in English (PPSMI) Policy consistent with a new education system.

Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, told the Dewan Rakyat today that the government is obtaining the views of an advisory body to find out if people want the subjects taught in English or Bahasa Melayu.

"The Ministry of Education has to also consider the importance of English mastery because it is an international language and required for the purpose of management and trade, aside from opening up employment opportunities," he said.
