Govt urged to absorb clerical assistants

Kamarozaman says the assistants have greatly reduced teachers’ administrative duties.

THE National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) is urging the Government to consider absorbing the 412 clerical assistants into the civil service or extending their contracts in schools.

The contracts of the 412 selected as part of a pilot project to reduce the burden of teachers in 2012, ended last month.
