The Ministry of Education (MOE) has guaranteed that the arrival of volunteer English teachers from Singapore will not affect the hiring and placement of local graduates and teachers. In a written response at the Dewan Negara, the ministry stated that the recruitment of these volunteer teachers stemmed from discussions between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his counterpart Lawrence Wong in June, and the initiative will be funded by the Singaporean government.

The ministry emphasized that the proposal is under careful review, particularly regarding its implementation in MOE educational institutions. This scrutiny is to ensure that the initiative complies with current policies and regulations. At the same time, efforts are being made to identify qualified volunteers who will maintain high standards of teaching and learning.

“This initiative is designed to enhance English proficiency among students in economically disadvantaged urban, suburban, and rural areas, including Sabah and Sarawak. A strong command of English can boost the country’s competitiveness, support international trade, and provide access to the latest knowledge, particularly in science and technology,” the ministry stated in response to a question from Senator Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker, who asked about the impact of the volunteer initiative on local graduates and teachers.

Meanwhile, the MOE stated that, according to findings from stakeholder engagements, there is no need to expand the Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih (SBJK) program. The ministry conducted engagement sessions with non-governmental organizations and state and local authorities to collect input and perspectives on providing educational access to homeless children who are citizens without documents or in similar situations nationwide.

The ministry noted that these engagement sessions took place in 11 states: Penang, Johor, Pahang, Terengganu, Kedah, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, Perak, Sarawak, and Sabah. This statement was made in response to a question from Senator Abun Sui Anyit about the challenges the MOE faces in expanding the SBJK program.

Overall, the Ministry of Education’s initiatives, including the recruitment of volunteer English teachers from Singapore, aim to enhance educational outcomes without compromising opportunities for local graduates and teachers. The careful consideration of these programs ensures they align with existing policies and contribute positively to the education sector. Notably, aspiring Malaysian Indian students who are studying or planning to study teaching can be confident that their career prospects and opportunities for professional growth remain secure and unaffected by these new initiatives.
