We need a complete overhaul of our education system, says NUTP

“Time and again, we have pointed out the weaknesses in our system; our input on technical and vocational education and training, mismatch of teachers with the subjects they teach and a host of other problems – but they have not been thoroughly acted upon,” said National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) secretary-general Harry Tan (pic).
