Program will focus on early intervention (Year 1 3) for both literacy and numeracy skills. Previous programs either only focused on literacy skills (KIA2M) or only in Years 4-6 (Protim) Reduced remedial teacher to student ratio to 1:15 from currently 1 per school Nurses in schools to identify students who require tailored special needs programmes Management and supervision is decentralised to District Education Office & monitored by the School Inspectorates. Previously, this was done by the MOE Best performing teachers will now be allocated to Year 1 and 2 i.e., LINUS program. (Not just exam year, i.e. Year 6) Professional support for LINUS teachers via dedicated facilitators (FasiLINUS)

We have identified several factors which will be critical to the success of the LINUS programme
Success Factors Remedial Teachers (1:15 students) Establishment of FasiLINUS (1:20 schools) Nurse in schools (1:700 students) Enhancement of Teachers Pedagogical Skills through In-service and pre-service training. All schools must participate unconditionally in LINUS Programme.

We plan to place nurses permanently in schools, to assess children with disabilities and special learning needs
Current situation Currently, nurses come to schools once annually to conduct normal health check-up. Therefore, special needs children are not identified, unless teachers refer these cases to the parents Plan to place nurses in schools, with the ratio of 1 nurse for every 700 students Nurses will conduct the following work at the schools: Test eyesight, hearing and normal health check-up Nurse will monitor children identified as potential candidate for special needs programme (e.g., dyslexia)
Proposed solution
2,100 new posts to be created RM 71.8 million emolument and RM13.6 million equipment cost for 5 years

We plan to enhance teachers pedagogical skills to ensure various learning strategies for effective learning
Current situation Currently, the number of teachers who are experts in teaching basic literacy and numeracy are limited. Thus, we need to train teachers various teaching styles and techniques to enhance students learning Plan to conduct professional training courses for LINUS and remedial teachers in teaching literacy and numeracy Training should include: Incorporating various pedagogical methods Enhancing teaching skills using technology
Proposed solution
Providing a variety of teaching and learning resources Exposing to best practices in teaching basic literacy and numeracy
Implications
Findings from Nationwide Poll (2009) by TNS international research: 69% of respondents suggested that improving teacher quality should be a priority for the government 30% of respondents suggested that improving students outcomes in primary education should be a priority for the government
This solution needs a change of mindset among teacher trainers and teachers

We plan to establish at the PPD level, a group of FasiLINUS, who will play a prominent role in ensuring success at the district level
Who are they?
Good experienced teachers (jurulatih utama) who are based at each of the 154 PPDs About 884 new FasiLINUS required, with minimum of 4, and maximum of 12 per PPD Ratio of roughly 1 FasiLINUS per 20 schools Advice state for deployment of remedial teachers Dissemination of LINUS programme to Head Teachers and Teachers Coaching and mentoring of LINUS programme Capacity building of remedial teachers, other teachers, and schools administrators Helping schools prepare corrective action plans
Obtain 100% literacy by 2010, for ~300 thousand children in 2500 schools
Creating and preparing a central and regional team to visit and support all schools
1,500 central and regional educational analysts trained in supporting teachers across 2,450 schools (1 to 1.6 schools) Jump in literacy rates from 25% to 75% in short span

We need to ensure SJKC and SJKT students able to read and write in Bahasa Malaysia
Current situation
There were 28,198 students (20081) from SJKC and SJKT who were placed in Remove Classes in Form 1. These students were considered weak in Bahasa Malaysia. At present, there is an inadequate number of Bahasa Malaysia teachers and remedial teachers in SJKC, especially Chinese teachers whose option is Bahasa Malaysia Suitably qualified Bahasa Malaysia teachers will be provided by MOE and accepted by these schools to fill the vacancies to teach this subject in schools
Proposed solution
Implications
Bahasa Malaysia must be upheld as the national language in all schools, in parallel with emphasis on mother tongue languages Communication to school and public will be managed, emphasizing the literacy and numeracy support offered to ensure acceptance by all parties

Q4: Why must LINUS Programme focus on literacy only in Bahasa Malaysia (BM) instead of other languages? A: Bahasa Malaysia is the national language of the country. Bahasa Malaysia is also the language of unity. All Malaysian citizens must be able to read, write and communicate in the language to foster understanding and unity in the spirit of 1Malaysia.
Q5: Will numeracy also be taught in BM? A: No. Students will learn numeracy in the respective medium of instruction in the schools. E.g.: BM in SK; Chinese language in Chinese schools and Tamil language in Tamil schools.
CONFIDENTIAL
41
Q8: What are the targets set under the LINUS Programme for special needs children? A: No targets has been set for special needs children. They will be channelled into special education programme. Q9: What is the difference between LINUS and previous intervention programmes on literacy and numeracy? A : LINUS will focus on early intervention (Year 1 3) for both literacy and numeracy skills. Previous programs either only focused on literacy skills (KIA2M) or only in Years 4-6 (PROTIM) Q10: What are the indicators that measures students ability in reading, writing and arithmetic under the LINUS programme? A: Twelve constructs have been developed to assess the level of literacy and numeracy. The achievement in each construct will determine the students ability in reading, writing and arithmetic . Students have to successfully master the 12 constructs.
CONFIDENTIAL
42
Q12: What are other strategies to assist teachers in ensuring the success of LINUS? A: One of the initiatives taken by the MOE is to establish FasiLINUS at the district level. FasiLINUS are experienced teachers who act as facilitators to assist teachers in their teaching and learning (T&L). They will coach teachers and also act as mentors to devise lessons, develop T&L materials, and monitor teachers delivery. The FasiLINUS will also collect and analyse students achievement, and work with teachers to designed alternative learning T&L modules.
Q13: How does the MOE ensure parents and community understand the purpose of the LINUS programme? A: The MOE will disseminate information concerning the programme through various mechanism. First, the head teachers will be informed about the programme. The head teachers will then share the knowledge with parents through Parents Teachers Associations. The ministry will also hold open houses for the public to explain about the program to ensure better understanding and support among parents and community. In addition, publicity will be carried out using mass media.
