As copy and paste from Ministry of Education Malaysia's Official Portal.. Katanya.. Walaupun..
" PPSMI is the outcome of a policy decision made by the Government of Malaysia as the result from the Minister’s Council Meeting held on 19 July 2002.
The implementation of PPSMI was carried out in stages beginning with the 2003 schooling session. The pioneers were all Year 1 students for Primary Schools, Form 1 and Lower 6 students for Secondary Schools.The full implementation of PPSMI was in 2007 for Secondary Schools and 2008 for Primary Schools.
The rationale for the decision to change the medium of instruction from the Malay Language to English for the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics subjects was made based on the government’s concern on the nation’s human capital development towards achieving the standard of a developed country, as well as an early preparation to compete in the era of globalization.
It is widely known that the field of science and mathematics form the basis and have a crucial role in the progress and development of a country. Various innovations and discoveries in these two fields happen rapidly and information access is mostly in the English language.
English language is also the language spoken internationally and mastery in this language would allow easy access to information in these fields.
In conclusion, the policy decision to implement PPSMI was made to ensure students’ mastery in science and mathematics in view of the fact that most of the sources are available in the English language. Indirectly, it is also hoped that the implementation of PPSMI would contribute to the enhancing of students’ command of the language."

ReplyDeleteangah cukup sedey biler bangsa melayu sendiri bodoh tak nak upgrade anak2 merka lebih tahu bahasa inggeris. bangsa asing akan tepuk tngan. sbb anak melayu akan tetap jadi kuli.
cuma satu jew, biler makbapak yg kurang english tak dapat communicate dgn lebih baik dalam english manakala anak mereka tertanya2 so di jadikanlah bahasa menyusahkan.
sedey..cukup sedey.. konon nak martabat bahasa malaysia... sedangkan anak mereka sendiri yang berosakkan bahasa ibunda sendiri..
renung renung kan...
scrap the plan..tumpu pada pemngajaran bahasa inggeris sendiri.. kdg2, cikgu english pun barai, ni plak nk suh cikgu math n sains ajar dlm english..
ReplyDeletesmthing hv to do with the english syllabus itself.. bila basic dah kuat, ajar subjek apa dlm english pun no prob..

I don't think there's any wrong with PPSMI or not.. Ilmu is Ilmu..(1+1=2 anyway).. In whatever languange..
