Improve system to make better students

Hwa Tai sponsored RM10,000 worth of NiE and Step Up education pullouts. The mock cheque ceremony was held at SK Cheras Indah, one of the recipient schools. Pictured are SK Cheras Indah pupils with English teacher Donna Kwan (in white and black blouse) making use of the Step Up pullout at the computer room.

THE new year is here. We have another 365-day cycle to make things better. Improving schools is certainly one of these. Here is my wish list.

First, the DLP (Dual Language Programme) is a recent most laudable initiative of the Education Ministry. It aspires to improve our students’ proficiency in English as well as expose them to the field of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) in its global lingua franca. Schools can opt to participate in the programme based on their readiness and their fulfilling of certain fair prerequisites. All stakeholders have to play their parts to ensure its success.
