Retain programme for the children’s sake


I STRONGLY support and endorse the Dual Language Programme (DLP) as it has yielded very positive results in schools.

I am appalled to see this programme being sensationalised by many quarters without any valid reason. Hypothetically, if one does not like this programme, he or she can always switch to schools without it. Therefore, I do not see any reason for people with hidden agendas to dispute this programme which was introduced by the Prime Minister in the 2016 Budget.
