The full implementation of Dual Language Programme (DLP) in Sarawak is the first one in Malaysia. It is one of the initiatives done by the State government in gaining autonomy in its education by enhancing the English language proficiency among its communities. Allocations are given in order to support the implementation of the programme. One of the way the State education office support the implementation of this programme is by sending novice teachers to be posted in schools around Sarawak including rural primary schools. Novice teachers including the non-option teachers are being appointed to teach DLP subjects. This can bring in advantages and disadvantages in enhancing the English language proficiency of rural primary school pupils as most non-option teachers are appointed to teach just to fill in the void or vacancies.
