Director-General says non-specialist English teachers will need to pass the university-entrance English test.

GEORGE TOWN: The Education Ministry, admitting that it was short of specialist English-language teachers, is to continue its policy of requiring other teachers to pass a university-entrance English test before they are allowed to teach the language subject.

“Option” teachers are those who have undergone training at teacher training colleges to teach particular subjects. Amin defended the move to retain the MUET requirement, saying it was part of the strategy to improve the standard of English among school children.

Good. Once you admit your shortcoming you can then earnestly look at a correct solution or approach to address your weakness. Good development.
