I am back but lets go on to bussiness...PPSMI
I am grateful that the government has come to its sense by abolishing altogether the dumbest policy it ever made all thanks to the then PM who until today is still barking though from outside with less and less followers. Someone should have him checked into one of many mental facilities. He seems obsesses with power and cannot remind himself that he is only the THEN Prime Minister.
Coming back to PPSMI or ETEMS, finally the government acknowledges reports saying that the standard and performance of students in both subjects are on the decline particularly in the rural areas. What is the then PM's intention anyway when he bulldozes the idea without proper planning, caught everyone by surprise so much so they only had to comply. But that's typical of him since he is the MIGHTY OLD MAN!
The problem among others is the students' weaknesses in English which severely limit and affect their employability. At the same time, many of them are also weak in both science and mathematics. As the wise man he exudes himself to be, he hatches the three-pronged idea of combining the subjects. He being the fixer just like his training is not bothered about the impacts. He is just being naive and idealistic; thinking that by doing such, the students will be better. Sadly, the results do not really agree with his utopia. Students, his guinea pigs become his latest victims. Students today are only familiar with the terms but they still fail miserably to comprehend its meaning and usages what more applying the concepts because their English is limited. English has become the blockade to full understanding.
If others see such as being apolitical then they are correct this is politics since politics itself covers a vast area including the welfare of the students. At least on this matter I am with the government.

Can't you retire gloriously?
