As the implementation news was announced at a very short notice, many teachers were caught by surprise as some were not prepared to deliver the subjects using English. This is probably due to lack of proficiencies, confidence and inadequate command of English. These problems, if not taken seriously would undermine the process of teaching and learning and subsequently students would be the victim as they are the ones that sit for the assessment and examination.
