BACHOK – The Education Ministry will improve several structures in the country’s education system in the near future, said Senior Education Minister Datuk Radzi Jidin.
He said among the improvements his ministry would give attention to is the provision of an application platform for scheduling and grading schools nationwide.
“We will also restructure the teacher transfer process, so applications can be made throughout the year, with four transfers a year according to the suitability of the place applied for and the subject options in the state concerned.
“Besides that, we will also ensure teachers can teach other subjects apart from their qualifications to give them an advantage when requesting a transfer,” he said.
He said this at a press conference after officiating the launch of the national-level 51st Teachers’ Day 2022 celebration at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan here today.
Commenting further, Radzi said the ministry will focus on streamlining the usage of the teacher information filing system.
He said teacher development and well-being will also be given attention, to efficiently enhance school operations and teacher responsibilities.
“We went to the ground to listen to the educators’ views and grievances about the problems they face, during the management engagement sessions held earlier.
“We will ensure that inefficiencies in the school system can be addressed to ensure that every teacher can spend their time educating optimally,” he said. – Bernama, May 16, 2022
