The Education Ministry has JUST suggested to the Economic Planning Unit that a teachers' college specifically to train English teachers be set up.
Minister of Education Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein said the ministry would take the idea to the Cabinet SOON.
Hishammuddin said he shared the hope of the Second Malay Education Congress that the Government would also plan strategies to improve the command of English and other foreign languages among students. "It would be a positive development, especially in the context of the Ninth Malaysia Plan. "Having a training college to turn out teachers proficient in the language is extremely feasible," he said, adding that the location of the college and the number of teachers required would be disclosed later.
"We will also tie up with overseas institutions of good, solid repute such as Oxford and Cambridge Universities in the UK, as well as others in Australia and New Zealand. "This will assist us in bringing our own institutions to global levels."
Hishammuddin also said he did not agree with Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Shafie Salleh on offering unemployed graduates the option of being teachers. "The quality of teachers is of high importance to the future of our students. We need people who are passionate about teaching and the welfare of students as teachers, not people who choose teaching as a career simply because they have no other options," he said.
At long last, after 3 years since the reverting Maths and Science back to English, the Education Ministry is going to do the RIGHT THING! Bravo, to the Education Minister Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein for the right idea and solution.
It also takes great courage and wisdom of him as Education Minister to rebut the Higher Education Minister's SUPER BRIGHT IDEA to fill the gap of English teachers with unemployed graduates. I don't know why Dr. Shafie make such suggestion; to use unemployed graduates as teacher. Presumably, he thinks that every damn available unemployed graduate can be converted into an English teacher. Probably, thats the reason why we had such poor results in English in rural schools as enunciated by Ku Li. The previous system managers might had used such GREAT IDEAS to breed English teachers.
Infact, Tengku Razaleigh putting the blame elsewhere, should analyze whether the weakness of English language in rural schools might be due to the fact that the English teachers in Kelantan were filled up by unemployed "illiterate" graduates who couldn't speak English, but were been appointed to teach English to the children in Kelantan to reduce unemployment of graduates.
I am not sure how much interaction those Ministers had with the current students in schools and universities; whether they had ever done an emphirical analysis to find out the graduates English capabilities and proficiencies.
What say you men? sick milia dola ma? good techar in kelata?
