It’s okay if PPSMI is introduced at secondary level, say MCA and groups


Sharing his thoughts: Dr Wee speaking on the issue of teaching and learning of Science and Maths in English at an interview in Kuala Lumpur.

PETALING JAYA: Although the Chinese community is not completely against the teaching and learning of Science and Maths in English (PPSMI), it depends at which level one is pushing the system, say educationist groups.

MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said when the move was first introduced in 2003, the Chinese educationists were not for it to be carried out in vernacular primary schools but 90% of secondary vernacular schools were in support of it.
