Higher pay for teachers with better qualifications being considered, says Fadhlina

PETALING JAYA: The Education Ministry is looking into the request for teachers with higher academic qualifications to be given better salaries as a recognition of their efforts.

"We will take seriously the views of the Prime Minister who had announced that increase in the civil servants’ salary will be the government's priority when the country's income improves,” Sinar Harian quoted minister Fadhlina Sidek as saying on Saturday (May 27).
