KLANG: Retired school teacher Dr Devi Arumugam says the various problems plaguing the national education system was one of the factors behind a shortage of teachers for certain subjects.
Devi, who took optional retirement eight years ago after 28 years of service, said the lack of efficacy in the education system had paved a path for unsuitable candidates being trained to teach these subjects.
According to Devi, who was a SPM marker and team leader for English under the Malaysia Examination Syndicate for 20 years, students who have fair proficiency are given very high marks as they are the best of the worst. “They told me it was difficult for them to cope and sought my advice. I told them to write an essay each for me to evaluate.
“There is a methodology in teaching English as a second language and unless you have trained at the college or tertiary level, you would be oblivious about this,’’ she added.
