KUALA LUMPUR: All schools will have increased hours of English lessons per week by 2011.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said all Chinese and Tamil schools would have also extra Bahasa Malaysia lessons per week in addition to increased English classes.
"The Cabinet agreed to the move in our weekly meeting on Friday," he told reporters after launching the KL International Book Fair at PWTC here on Saturday.
Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said the increased hours of language lessons would not involve an extension to existing school hours.
