Alimuddin: Ministry yet to decide on Science and Mathematics issue
PUTRAJAYA: There have been differing views on whether the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English should be retained.
Education director-general Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom said these views were based on a series of roundtable discussions the ministry had held to discuss the policy since last month.
“The three main views are that some groups want the policy to be retained while others don’t.
“Another view is that the policy be retained but that it be introduced either in the second half of primary school or only implemented in secondary school,” he told reporters at the end of the second roundtable discussion yesterday.
The policy of teaching Science and Mathematics in English was implemented in phases, starting with Year One, Form One and Lower Six students in 2003.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein had earlier announced that a decision on whether Science and Mathematics would continue to be taught in English would be made after the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) results were released at the end of the year.
He said the decision would not be based on the UPSR results but that the ministry was only announcing the decision after the results were out as it needed time to go through more roundtable discussions to seek the views of different parties.
Alimuddin said the second roundtable discussion was attended by community leaders, Parent-Teacher Associations, Non-Governmental Organisations, representatives from teacher unions, corporate and professional bodies, interested individuals as well as ministry officials.
Two more roundtable discussions would be held in October, he said, adding that these were with teachers and students, and another with politicians.
“The ministry will refine the recommendations from the discussions.
“This will then be handed over to the minister with other reports and evaluations so that a decision can be made on the policy,” Alimuddin said.

real meaning of peace
There once was a king who offered a prize to the artistwho would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest - in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?
"Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."
so my friends always in relax condition even you have a major problem:)
find you own peace and enjoy our life.
