Give priority to locals when hiring teachers in Sabah, says union

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Teacher’s Union hopes that priority will be given to locals when hiring teachers in Sabah following a planned one-off initiative to tackle the teacher shortage issue in four states in the country.

The union president Said Saidi said while the announcement by Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin to hire almost 19,000 teachers is welcome, there were some conditions that should be looked into.
