I presume that this entire article is a translation of another (foreign) website;
this assumption is made due to the mangled grammar and syntax.
The use of American (US) spellings, eg ‘program’ in place of ‘programme’ add to the poor quality of this reporting.
It’s your opinion, we don’t agree to it. The english used may not be immaculate, but we understand that it covers and convey what we wanted to. And BTW, usage of the word ‘program’ is your imagination. There is no such word in the article. Kindly recheck.
