Govt should not shut down teacher's training institutes, says Umno man


SEREMBAN: The government should not shut down 21 of the 27 teacher's training institutes nationwide as has been reported, as this would affect school-leavers who want to pursue a career in teaching, says Umno supreme council member Datuk Jalaluddin Alias.

He made the statement following a Berita Harian report on Tuesday (Sept 10) that claimed the government was mulling shutting down 21 teacher's training institutes from next year.
