LINUS stands for Literacy and Numeracy programme which act as the founder for these two learning skills in primary level. LINUS complement the third shift in education blueprint which aims to improve the students in literacy and numeracy skills. Without these two skills, it is quite hard for the students to compete in their career life soon in this developing modern world. Unlike previous efforts to address the numeracy and literacy problems, LINUS focuses on early intervention in the early primary years before the pupils enter Year Four.
There are few effects of the implementation for
this programme:
1.

literacy and numeracy skills has improved. For example, the pupils who are in Year Three now recorded the average score of
99.5% in their screening test for numeracy skills. (Statistic from http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2012/09/05/linus-programme-for-early-learning/)
2.
There is no difficulties
for the learning disabilities such as dyslexia and others who need more
attentions from the teachers.
3.
The teacher learned more
pedagogical skills.
4.
The action of reducing
the teacher-pupil ratio effectively enable the teachers to monitor the progress
of each pupil.
5.
Some teachers find that
the programme is quite burdening since there are many other tasks.
