Teachers expect issues to rise

PETALING JAYA: Teachers who are glad to be back in schools are anticipating issues to arise and are urging the Education Ministry to come up with the staggered time table soon. And they prefer shorter schooling hours.

National Union of the Teaching Profession secretary-general Harry Tan said he had drafted an appeal letter to Education Minister Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin regarding the change in this year’s academic calendar. Tan urged the ministry not to proceed with the change as teachers, who have worked hard throughout the movement control order (MCO), deserved a good break.
