"Chinese Primary School all over Malaysia have been plagued by shortage of teachers for the past 30 over years, since I first started teaching. Now I am about to retire" said a HM of a Primary school.
This shortage of Chinese speaking teachers has been perpetual. Training of new teachers only done for non-Chinese ones but not the Chinese ones so there are surplus of teachers in non-Chinese primary schools. There are so many teachers that the non-Chinese primary schools classes can be as small as 25 pupils to a class, whereas the Chinese schools will have classes 50 or more pupils to a class.
Go ask any teacher in Chinese school, he/she will not only tell you there are not only not enough teachers. There are even lack of proper tables and chairs; not to mention about other needs.
No wonder many who are aware of what is going on will not support the present government!
Enough is enough, after 30 over years, Dong Zong and others are putting up a massive demonstration on March 25 to protest the insincerity of the present government in solving the shortage of Chinese teachers in Chinese schools.
