Tamil schools to give feedback on subjects in English

The MIC will hold a special meeting with headmasters and parent-teacher associations (PTAs) from 522 Tamil primary schools nationwide to seek feedback on the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English.

Paty president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said it was important to do so as the issue affected the entire community.

“I have already discussed the matter with the Education Ministry and promised to call for a meeting with all Tamil school headmasters and PTA representatives to hear their views,” he told reporters after officiating a Malacca/Negri Sembilan MIC re-branding workshop here yesterday.

He said the previous consensus among Tamil school teachers and the PTAs was for both subjects to be taught in English.
