More Chinese, Tamil language teachers to be recruited in Malaysia from 2011 | Eyeing upon putting into operation the Pupils Own Language (POL) policy in around 7,000 primary schools nationwide, more Chinese and Tamil language teachers will be recruited from the next year. This has been done to enhance the profile of national schools
and cater to the wishes of the parents and the students wanting Chinese and Tamil
to be taught in schools. "I have directed the ministry director-general (Tan Sri
Alimuddin Mohd Dom) to ensure that schools get the necessary teachers from next
year onwards," the star quoted Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin
as saying in a question and answer session at the Perdana Leadership Foundation.
Muhyiddin, who is also the Education Minister, was replying to a question on racial
segregation by choice, in reference to non-Malay parents deciding upon sending
their children to vernacular schools instead of the national variant. Earlier
on June 13, Muhyiddin spoke in favour of the POL as it fostered unity, besides
catering to the expansion of knowledge. Ministry sources said that only 511 primary
schools had the essential teachers to teach either one, or both, of the languages
to date. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had recently announced that
the Government would allow qualified Unified Examination Certificate holders to
enter the Institute of Teacher Education . Muhyiddin had earlier spoken on "The
Role of Education in Leadership Development" at the Perdana Discourse Series",
asserting that there was no time to waste as Malaysia urgently needed to produce
the right human capital that would drive the economy to the next level of development. |
