Thirty NGOs have questioned why "unqualified" schools are among the 47 Tamil schools selected to implement the Dual Language Programme (DLP).

K Arumugam, Child Information Learning Development Centre (Child) spokesperson, said that these schools did not meet the minimum 1.85 average grade in Bahasa Malaysia required.

The group said the DLP, which allowed schools to opt to teach Science and Mathematics in English, was unsuitable for Tamil schools and should be scrapped.
