KAJANG (Bernama): The government has been advised not to be hasty in abolishing the arts and science streams in Form Four from next year. National Council of Professors (NCP) president Prof Datuk Dr. Raduan Che Rose said he feared the move would have implications for courses at the university level. Moreover, it appeared to contradict the Ministry of Education's move to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. "They should not dilute the core science subjects. Early last week, the media reported that starting from next year Form Four students would no longer be divided or differentiated into arts or science streams but would be allowed to pick subjects depending on their interest.
