The reversal of the ETeMS policy: Using Brain Space to Make Decision

From The STAR Online.
"The Government has decided to reverse the Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English policy and revert to Bahasa Malaysia in national schools and Chinese and Tamil in vernacular schools. More emphasis would also be placed on English, including the hiring of retired teachers, assistant teachers for bigger classes and having additional periods. Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said this meant that from 2012, students in Years One and Four and Forms One and Four in national primary and secondary schools would study the two subjects in Bahasa Malaysia while those in vernacular schools would be taught in their mother tongue (Chinese and Tamil)."
