Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,
Today, I'll be organising a special discussion or rather an academic colloquium that involves all the academic staff at UTM. It is a simple organisation but the topic is a very hot one.
See, Malaysian started to teach Science & Mathematics at schools using English in 2003 in the hope that the students' English will be improved since most of the science and mathematics learning materials online and worldwide are in English. This implicated the teaching and learning from the lowest to the highest educational institution. Now that the government has called it off because it is not helping the learning of Science and Mathematics, plus the English is not improving as well (according to some studies), so what is UTM suppose to do now?
This is why the discussion is organised and will be documented rather than all these academicians keep bringing it up through the emailing list. Surely no actions will be taken when people just randomly throw out their ideas on emailing list.
I don't know how many people will turn up today but I hope it is a successful one - that the objectives of the programme is achieved.
Wassalam.
so what's the outcome? i'm curious =)
