Association Supports Making English Compulsory Pass Subject

 

The Malaysian Malay Language Education Association (PPBMM) fully supports the government's proposal to make English an SPM compulsory pass subject.

Its president, Assoc Prof Dr Hashim Othman, said this was in line with the resolutions made by the association in March to raise language proficiency at all levels of education through various strategies and teaching and learning methods.

He said it was fitting to learn English for communication purpose, but not as a language for knowledge as being done through the policy of teaching and learning Science and Mathematics in English.
