“We must forget about the change, but to give emphasis to education,” he said in a speech to teachers and educators at the state-level 48th Teachers’ Day celebration here. Abang Johari said in his walkabouts in the rural areas of the state, he sympathises with the teachers who are forced to stay in “really bad shape living quarters.”

“We are looking at the disbursement of the loan in three packages, the first being RM300 million, then another RM300 million and the third, RM400 million,” he said, adding that the total RM1 billion is to be spent within two years. “For that we need to train at least 3,000 teachers to be proficient in English. It is not about training them to be good in grammar or the construction of sentences, but more on English proficiency to enable them to teach Science and Mathematics,” he said.
