NUTP hopes Dr M can remedy politicised Jawi, vernacular schools issues

Jawi had become a dividing point, often along racial lines, on whether it was necessary to include the Arabic-based script in the Bahasa Malaysia syllabus for Year 4.Vernacular schools itself are a hot topic, with right-wing Malay groups often calling for their closure. However, he hoped that there would be policy shifts, as teachers are"traumatised" with new policies being brought in by each new education minister.

Separately, Sisters in Islam founder Zainah Anwar wants the context of Islamic studies in schools and universities to be expanded.

Rubbish. If teachers do not want to do extra work for free, then they should resign. There are thousands of others waiting to take over from them. Resign today.
