KOTA TINGGI – The Higher Education Ministry will work closely with the Education Ministry (MoE) in order to address the issue of glut of graduate teachers in the country, said the former’s minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

“It is very important for us to know the projections (of the needed teachers) that can only be provided by MoE in our effort to address this issue.

“With so many students taking teaching courses, we should see that teachers are needed not only in government schools but also in private schools and to work abroad,” he told reporters after attending the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu Semarak Komuniti Kota Tinggi programme at SK Sedili Besar here today.

He said this in response to National Union of Teaching Profession president Aminuddin Awang’s statement on the glut of graduate teachers in the market.

The Kota Tinggi MP also said that he had asked Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris to pay extra attention to producing teachers for technical and vocational education and training education centres. – Bernama, May 28, 2023
