There are 70,000 English teachers in our national
schools. To date, close to 12,000 teachers from three cohorts have been
upskilled over a period of one year. The first two cohorts have been retested
with approximately 60% improving at least one band under the Common European
Framework of Reference (CEFR) English proficiency benchmark.
Many Malaysians have been ceaseless in criticising
Government for not taking the right stand in improving English proficiency. In
one of my previous columns (http://bit.ly/1l8UFFD), I touched upon the four
constellations – principal, teacher, parent and student – needing to be in
alignment to make any school great.
With the HIP and DLP in place, the Ministy has created
an environment to activate the aligning of these constellations.
More importantly, if you have noticed,
decentralisation of decision-making and empowerment of schools and parents are
already at play. The future of your childrenhave been placed in your hands as
the Government focuses on facilitating a conducive learning atmosphere.
