The outcome of the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) result tomorrow would be a determining factor for the education ministry on whether to continue teaching mathematics and science subjects in English.

 

Deputy Education Minister Datuk Razali Ismail said today the Federal Cabinet would take the result into account, together with other factors, before making their final decision on the issue.

He was speaking at a press conference after closing an international conference, 'Indigenous Pedagogies in Diverse Cultural Contexts' here.

The 518,616 pupils who sat for the UPSR examination this year is the first group which studied mathematics and science in English in 2003.

Meanwhile, Razali said as of June, this year, the ministry had completed 2,875 out of 12,905 rural school infrastructure projects earmarked for implementation under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.

He added that another 3,080 projects were under construction.

Razali said the ministry had allocated about RM8.21 billion for the infrastructure projects which also included construction of 1,996 pre-schools in rural areas to cater to 50,000 students.

He added that about RM160 million was already allocated by the ministry to intensify educational and health programmes for the Penans and Orang Asli.
