The state’s education, innovation and talent development minister says core science and mathematics will be taught entirely in English.

KUCHING: The Dual Language Programme (DLP) in Sarawak will be expanded to secondary schools starting next year, the state’s education, innovation and talent development minister, Roland Sagah Wee Inn, said.

With the expansion, he said, all Form 1 students will enter the DLP stream and continue under the programme until Form 5.

“At the upper secondary level, the initiative will take a significant step forward, with core pure science subjects – Biology, Chemistry and Physics – along with Additional Mathematics, to be taught entirely in English,” he said when winding up the debate for his ministry at the Sarawak state assembly here today.
