KUALA KANGSAR: The Education Ministry is always making efforts to increase the intake of Mandarin language teachers in the country, says Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon.

The Deputy Education Minister said last year, during a one-off intake of over 18,000 teachers, more than 100 of them were employed to specifically teach Mandarin.
