THE recruitment of trained English teachers from India under the School Improvement Specialist Coaches (SISC +) programme will be finalised soon. Deputy Education Minister P. Kamalanathan said in parliament that teachers would be placed in several rural schools across the country, including “hot spot” schools to help raise the competency level of local English teachers in line with the Upholding Bahasa Malaysia and Strengthening English (MBMMBI) policy.
“It had been on the ministry's agenda to bring in trained teachers from India in the near future, to improve the command of the language in rural schools in the country,” he said.
