PETALING JAYA: The National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) is upset that non-English language teachers have been told to sit for an English test, saying that it would add to their burden.

“These teachers are not trained in the subject. But they are forced to teach English, as instructed, due to a lack of these teachers in schools,” said NUTP secretary-general Harry Tan.Such teachers, he said, would not be able to reach the level of that of an English option teacher.
