Are we doing enough to inspire and motivate our students to learn Science and Mathematics? Besides their pop idols, are they exposed to great scientists and mathematicians whose inventions and discoveries have improved the whole world?
Issue #10
Why are there few serious and professional discussions on PPSMI problems at the grass root level? Is it because people are very careful not to create any controversy? Is it because of fear of offending others? Is it because it is safer to mind one's own business? Are we aware that this is not others' but our business?
By the way, the government has just abolished PPSMI (Wednesday, 8-7-2009) and revert to the teaching of science and mathematics back to the using mother-tongue at primary level and Bahasa Melayu for secondary level. However, the debate will not end with this decision.
