Malaysia to hire 300 US English tutors
KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 — Malaysia will hire some 300 English language tutors from the US next year to bolster efforts to
improve the use of the language in local schools, the education minister said today.
The RM18 million programme will see the language experts deployed to schools in the sixth and seventh bands across the
country, said Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in Malacca.
Muhyiddin, who is also deputy prime minister, revealed the initiative to be a part of Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s US tour last year,
after which the prime minister mooted the adoption of the US Peace Corps programme here.
The Peace Corp is a US government programme to promote cross-cultural understanding between the US and other nations.
The American tutors are in addition to the 10,000 English-language teachers the ministry plans to train in preparation for the
“Upholding Bahasa Malaysia and Strengthening English” policy next year where Science and Mathematics will be taught in
both languages.
Muhyiddin previously stated that 12,000 such teachers were trained last year.
The new policy replaces the Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English (PPSMI) that was introduced in 2003.

This may be the stupidest move by Education Minister…….my apologies to be rude. We have 1 million Malaysians skilled and well educated workers working in foreign countries. And he can’t find 300 English educated teachers among them.
Shame on you!!!!!
And beside that, the programme cost RM 18 million. Wow, what a waste of taxpayers’ money. That money can spend for our people. Some, who are working in foreign countries, are eager to come back and serve our country.
Give Malaysians a chance lah!!! Don’t take easy way out. Go out there and find them. There is lots of way to locate them.
Please next time use little bit of your brain and put little bit of your effort, and you can do wonders for our country. If you can’t do that, just please give your education minister post to someone who can work and serve the people better……. You can give it to me if you can’t find one….
Whether you can speak, write and read English or not, there is lots of millionaire in this world who don’t know the language. We can do wonders if we are smart and work harder, that’s what I believe.
Well…….
Life goes on………..
