Stretching the teachers thin


Struggling students: According to Fouzi, SPM students were the most likely to be affected by the teacher shortage due to the retirement of experienced teachers. — AZHAR MAHFOF/The Star

PETALING JAYA: Shortages of teachers are more pronounced for the Bahasa Melayu, History, Islamic Studies and English subjects, says the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP).

The group’s secretary-general, Fouzi Singon, said if each school were to face a shortage of just one teacher, the shortage nationwide could total 10,200 teachers.
