DBP Looking For Authors To Write Science, Mathematics And Bahasa Melayu Books

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- The Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) is currently looking for authors to write primary school text books for science, mathematics and Bahasa Melayu.
Deputy Education minister Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi said the ministry was working towards preparing the text books early before the implementation of teaching science and mathematics in Malay.
"DBP is looking for authors who meet the criteria and those interested can contact DBP," he told reporters after opening an International seminar on Linguistics and Bahasa Melayu Culture here on Tuesday.
He added that the implementation of the policy to replace the teaching of science and mathematics from English to Malay can be brought forward from 2012 to 2011 if the restructuring of the syllabus, curriculum and printing of text books can be completed early.
Mohd Puad added that the use of Bahasa Melayu must also be adopted as a culture by leaders because the process of enhancing the use of Bahasa Melayu in schools alone was not enough to achieve the nation's objective.

tunku : change the policy then only looking for authors to write those two subjects in Bahasa Malaysia, what a brilliant way to do thing.this is what happened when you implement something without doing thorough studies and asking public opinion on it. for other things always seek public opinion but for PPSMI just scrapped it when the government knows that majority wants it.pity our students, they will again be left behind in maths and science.they can even get authors , just imagine.
