Teaching Science and Maths in English

http://opinions.sinchew-i.com/node/20611
This article is from Malaysia which talking about the Science and Maths are going to be teach in Malay in Next Year time but in Chinese.

I should be feeling I was so luckily that I been taught by English for Science and Mathematics. Although these might not help me in improving my English language, it at least help me in understanding what I am studying for the University level.

Me, as in high school, are the first batch of candidates that uses English for both subjects after more than ten years they had been switch to Malay.
I have to admit that there are a lot of teachers that cant actually speak well in English in Malaysia, nor matter which races are them. Because they are not used to that and during their high school were in Malay version also.

But my friends and I were lucky to met some teachers who are old enough (some almost to wait for their retirement) who actually teaches us well in English. And yes, I appreciate it a lot. If not been taught in English, I wouldn't speak English, I wouldn't have the chances to speak neither I have much chances to write in English.

Although I cant speak prefect English, at least I get to communicate with others using Simple English. At least it is some ways for us to come out rather than staying in the local societies only. I think all of my friends appreciate this chance also.

BUT our government now are planning to switch back to Malay somehow. I think what supposed to change is the syllabus that have to be change now. It is so huge gap in between even Form 5 and Form 6 level. Don't talk about the Matriculation in Malaysia first. Not need to compare the syllabus of us studying with the 20years ago same level. It is just ashamed while being told by our teachers. As we were still complaining the level is too high for us. In fact, we are being taught to be lazy in somehow, our progress of learning were so slow. How are we going to compete with others? When we even lost in the starting point?

Anyway this is just a blog post that I am telling my opinions now. Maybe I should take my own initiative to study more, to gain more knowledge. Haha. I wonder if there is some way we could change the train now also. >.<
