PETALING JAYA: The Education Ministry will renegotiate the conditions for “incentive payment” to Maths, Science and English teachers given by the Public Services Department (PSD), so that all will qualify for it instead of only a small number.
The ministry was caught unawares by the conditions set in a PSD circular that came into effect on Jan 1, which states that primary school teachers have to teach the subjects at least 20 periods a week and secondary school teachers at least 15 periods to qualify for the payment.
