Group: Imported textbooks may hinder some students

JOHOR BARU: Some teachers are worried that certain students may not be able to catch up to the higher standard of English in imported textbooks that will go into use next year.

Johor English Language Teaching Assoc­iation president Vincent D’Silva said a sudden switch to materials from overseas could be detrimental because learning English is a major challenge for many Malaysian students, especially those in rural areas.
