DLP schools must ensure students’ Bahasa mastery, says minister


PETALING JAYA: Field visits by the Education Ministry have shown that students from Dual Language Programme (DLP) schools did not achieve a basic level of proficiency in Bahasa Melayu (BM) and their mother tongue.

Therefore, schools that have agreed to DLP implementation must ensure the fulfilment of all criteria including a mastery of BM, said Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek (pic).
