GEORGE TOWN, Dec 21 (Bernama) -- The education ministry is mulling over a move to make Malay Literature a single subject for lower secondary school students, in line with the launch of the Secondary School Standard Curriculum by 2017.
Its deputy director-general (education operation sector), Datuk Sufaat Tumin said the department was currently gathering input and feedback before the proposal could be implemented.
"The proposal to uplift the dignity of literature has been passionately discussed lately. Some quarters suggested that it be made a compulsory subject and also taught at the lower secondary level.
"However, this needs detailed study and evaluation from every angle," he told reporters at a seminar, 'National Seminar On Literature in National Education' here Saturday.
Six working papers were tabled by 15 lecturers from Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Putra Malaysia and Universiti Malaya, including teachers from secondary schools in the northern zone.
