Well, language should not be the main concern of learning any knowledge. Of course they are a lot of suggestions and researches saying that we learn better in the language we understand the best.
However, in this case I wonder whether the students can't learn or the teachers can't teach. I am quite sure it is the latter. So if the teachers can't teach we should teach the teachers and not reverse the policy.
Besides that, why spend 6 years fighting for the medium of instruction and not the content of the program? To be very frank I can say that our Maths curriculum is about 4-5 years behind Japan, 3-4 years behind Singapore & China and maybe we are lacking to Thailand and Indonesia as well. Sad but I think this is the reality.
I think the least that we can do is to maintain teaching Science in English. Or learn it during secondary schools.
Well, I am quite disappointed. Really
