I would like to make a short comment on the government's decision to revert back to Malay for the teaching of maths and science. I am not a man of politics but I am a father and an English teacher. I always thought it a good idea to have more English in school.
The problem here is not the policies but the implementation of those policies. The government may have good ideas but those ideas cannot work because they have not the backup from the government servants. Not having properly trained teachers and without everyone working hard for the policy to work contributed to it failing. I think in Malaysia the teachers are too laid back and don't care enough. Little do they think that they are to front line to the country's future. Many a time have my children told me that the teachers don't even bother to enter class. For Malaysia to improve it's education system will take more than just policies, it will take the education department and also the teachers to make sure it works. Loving ones country means working hard for its future and not just seeing how much you get paid for at the end of the month.
