  • In his winding-up speech at the Umno General Assembly 2014 last Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also Education Minister, said the ministry was considering making the third language an elective subject. Muhyiddin made the announcement in response to a proposal by Wanita Umno head Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil at the assembly that learning a third language like Arabic, Mandarin or Tamil as an elective subject would make it a crucial communication tool towards fostering unity. “This (mastery of language) is not a new thing as in European countries, they master four languages such as English, French, German and Italian,” said Idris. He said four national schools in Besut would begin teaching Mandarin to Malay students, beginning next year

  • At present, Mandarin is being offered as a subject in 600 national schools
  • the idea of importing teachers and experts in Mandarin from China is not practical as most of these teachers from China are not fluent in Malay. So how can these teachers from China communicate with the students and teach Mandarin as a 3rd language effectively?
  • Besides, since 2007, our government has spent RM12,302,720 to send 409 non-Chinese students to China to learn Mandarin. How much would it cost us to import teachers from China?

  • instead of importing teachers in Mandarin from China, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should first tap into the local talent pool. 21% of the primary school students study at SJKC. Among them, 88% are Chinese and 9% are Bumiputra. At the same time, there are around 80,000 students studying at Chinese Independent Schools. All these are the potential candidates for becoming Mandarin teachers in the future.
  • reply from Deputy Minister of Education, Datuk Mary Yap in Parliament on October 29, 289 teacher trainees have completed “Kursus Diploma Perguruan Malaysia – Kursus Dalam Cuti” (KDPM-KDC) in June while 495 teacher trainees will complete “Program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan” (PISMP) in December. All these graduates are specifically trained to teach Mandarin as 2nd language in our national schools.
  • Our Ministry of Education should first increase the intake for teaching Mandarin as 3rd language in PISMP and KDPM-KDC, and engage with Dong Jiao Zong to attract more students from Chinese Independent Schools to enroll. This will be a more expedient and costs effective method to produce 30,000 Mandarin teachers for 10,000 national schools.
  • While we support the idea of teaching Mandarin as a 3rd language in all national schools, this should not be done in a hasty manner. A policy that has nationwide impact and huge costs implication should be discussed thoroughly and plan carefully. It should not be announced in UMNO General Assembly and then immediately be implemented a month later. We do not want to see a repeat of mistakes made by Government in PPSMI as the future of our students is at stake.

  • Muhyiddin, who is Education Minister, proposed the creation of jobs for 30,000 new language teachers in national schools to facilitate teaching of a third language as an elective subject.
  • He said mastering a third language could help the Malay, Chinese and Indian students understand each other better.
  • Muhyiddin said the third language policy was already included in the schooling system. "But too few took up (the third language course)," he added.

  • He also emphasised the need to enhance command of the Malay language to promote national unity. This, he said, was important as studies have shown that some students could not even speak the national language. "I have given a directive to improve the curriculum and quality of teachers teaching Bahasa Melayu in national schools," he added.
  • Muhyiddin also noted that 121 of the 638 resolutions presented at the Umno general assembly were related to education issues.
  • Muhyiddin announced the setting-up of Parents Teachers Association Foundation with a start-up fund of RM200mil. "We will get more government-linked companies and the private sector to contribute towards the Foundation," he added.

  • Disela kunjungan dua hari di Jambi Mendikbud Nuh mengatakan bahwa mata pelajaran bahasa daerah tetap ada yakni di kolom kurikulum seni budaya dan prakarya. Bahasa daerah dan kelompok muatan lokal lainnya tetap terbuka untuk dimasukkan ke kurikulum. Mata pelajaran bahasa daerah, lanjut Nuh, tetap sejajar dengan mata pelajaran yang lain. Kemdikbud akan menyampaikannya ke publik setelah uji publik terumuskan. Diakui Nuh, masih banyak pihak yang belum mengetahui bahwa bahasa daerah tetap ada sehingga menimbulkan polemik di masyarakat.
