Recent decision made by the Ministry of Education

I get my copy of newspaper on Thursday morning. I was sitting in the class after coming back from the canteen. The newspaper was in front of me. I look at the headline to check out what is the latest news going around in the country recently.

"WTF!" This word came out of my mouth accidentally as I read the headline. The Ministry of Education has again decided to change the language used to teach Mathematics and Science subjects. Back to 7 years ago, they have made a shocking decision that all Mathematics and Science subjects are to be taught in English. This changes is applied to both primary and secondary school. The rational behind that action, according to them, in university, Maths and Science subjects are taught in English. So if we learn Maths and Science subjects in English while we were in the primary and secondary school, it will be easier for us when we proceed to university. I was partially agree with that decision.

Why am I partially agree with that decision? Simple. In my opinion, in fact I believe would have the same feeling as mine, that primary pupils should be taught in their mother tongue for both Maths and Science subjects. It is not a problem for a secondary school students to study Maths and Science subjects in English, in my opinion.

After many had complained that the teaching of Maths and Science subjects in English for primary school is irrelevant, the Ministry had finally show us some light by reconsidering it again. And finally it is back to normal. However, one thing that I found ridiculous the most is that why they are changing the language used in secondary school as well?RIDICULOUS! NONSENSE! 7 years ago, they said it is for the sake of the students so that they can do better in the university. What about now? Plus, 7 years ago, they said it is one of the way to improve the standard of English among students. Now? Will the increase in number of English teacher helps? I don't think so. The situation now is, we have to spend another big sum of money in order to change the current education syllabus. The text book, teacher might have to attend training again. More over, they are going to increase the number of English teacher. So this means that another sum of money is going to be spent on the cost of trainings, allowance and so on. The complains is about the primary school, why disturb the secondary school? What's the point of doing so? 7 years ago, when the Ministry decided that English is to be used in the teaching of Mathematics and Science subjects, many teachers have to attend numerous trainings. How much money is spend on it? And now they are going to change it AGAIN! Please, do appreciate taxpayers' money. Those money are not earned easily.

For God sake. The standard of education is going down the slope, and now it is falling down the bottomless cliff...
