Revamp Is A Word

And it is going to a word for a long time. The teachers can’t teach English because they don’t know the language. Students laugh at them because of their low command of the language.

Has Hisham gone to the schools to see how English is being taught. His knowledge of the language is good enough without asking the experts.

clipped from www.bernama.com English Curriculum To Be Revamped – Hishammuddin PUTRAJAYA, April 18 (Bernama) — The Education Ministry is looking into radical measures to strengthen the command of English among students, including revamping the curriculum. Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said today the measures included a more comprehensive teacher training programme and introducing English literature as a subject as early as during primary school. “This is for the experts to advise me (the introduction of English literature). I personally would like to see that it at the primary school level because this is where the children are able to master many languages. “Poor command of English will hold us back as 75 percent of telex messages, 80 per cent of computer data, most satellite communication, and 5,000 newspapers or more than half the newspapers in the world are in English.”
