Acting education minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has again pushed for the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English.
Speaking at a special meeting with the ministry yesterday, Mahathir said mastery of English was a vital element of education.
"Geography and History can come in any language but Science and Mathematics are not indigenous fields of knowledge, it comes from abroad.
"Most of it comes to us in English. Therefore, we are going to use English in the teaching of Science and Mathematics. That means we don't confuse people.
"We find those who study Science in Malay cannot work where English is required," he added.
