00:00 An education expert has suggested the education ministry re-examine the teaching methods for
00:07 Bahasa Melayu which prioritises examinations rather than the joy of learning.
00:13 University Kebangsaan Malaysia lecturer Hasnah Toran said this factor might deny students
00:18 the chance to acquire a good command of BM as observed in dual-language programme schools.
00:24 Last week, Education Minister Fadlina Siddek revealed that some students in DLP schools
00:29 did not achieve basic proficiency in Bahasa Melayu and their mother tongue.
00:35 Wan Marzuki Wan Jafar from University Putra Malaysia believes there should be an overarching
00:39 balancing initiative to enhance proficiency in BM and the mother tongue.
00:45 He said this includes curriculum updates that are more rapid and responsive to changing
00:49 needs, encompassing elements that highlight the use of the language in daily life situations.
00:55 He also said teachers need to have strong language skills and are capable of effective
00:59 teaching through engaging educational software.
