Resembling the previous educational policy, DLP emphasises the use of English as a means of instruction in the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics.

Findings revealed that the school administrators have positive perceptions towards the DLP programme, where they believe that DLP should be continued, yet improvements are needed to make the programme more effective. In addition, the main reason that the schools decided to take part in the programme was because they perceived that the DLP as a means to develop and improve English language mastery among the students in particular as well as the teachers indirectly.
