KOTA KINABALU, April 17 — Sabah will implement the dual language programme (DLP) in schools on a preliminary basis while a proper system is worked out, said state Education Department director Datuk Raisin Saidin.

He said the department had agreed in theory to the programme but there were considerations, such as the teachers’ English proficiency and preparedness of the school, before full implementation can take place in the state.
