Tamil schools to get 1,200 grad teachers
THERE will be 1,200 graduate teachers in Tamil schools by 2010, Makkal Osai reported.
Quoting Malaysian Tamil Schools Organization chief organizer S. Baskaran, the report said they would make up 15% of the total teaching force for Tamil schools.
He was speaking to reporters after opening a motivational seminar in Padang Serai, Kedah.
At present, there are about 8,000 Tamil schoolteachers and only 10% are graduates.
Baskaran said the Education Ministry was carrying out various programs to create more graduate Tamil schoolteachers in the country.
Just as an ordinary concerned mother who had so much of hope sending her son to a Tamil school cos no one in my past attended a tamil school is now dissappointed and regrets this decision as the children are sharing their school with another national school and they have so many restrictions even to the extent of going to the toilet or leaving their tupperwares on the desk cos they were told that it will mess up the desk.
What is the progress of Kajang Tamil school are our children going to share national school form the rest of their life without freedom. Lets us together help our children to maintain our mother tongue.
