It will happen in Malaysia, and it will happen in SG. Only a matter of time. A consequence of the strategic partnership between ASEAN and India.

Tapping English lecturers from India to teach in our schools

NEW DELHI: Indian nationals may soon be teaching English in Malaysia in a bid to help alleviate the shortage of teachers and improve proficiency of the language in Malaysia.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak made the proposal to his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh during a bilateral meeting yesterday, which the latter warmly welcomed.
“One of the suggestions I raised for the consideration of the Indian Prime Minister was for us to receive teachers from India who are fluent in English to teach our students in Malaysia.
“He welcomed the idea and will instruct the relevant ministry to hold discussions with the (Malaysian) Education Ministry to realise this,” he told a Malaysian media delegation here.
Malaysia has a similar arrangement with the United States, where 75 American teachers are currently teaching English in Malaysia.
When asked how many Indian teachers would come to Malaysia, Najib said the Education Ministry would look into the details. On another matter, Najib said more education roadshows would be held in India to promote Malaysia as a destination for tertiary education.
“They (India) send many of their students overseas, so maybe they can look at Malaysia as an alternative (destination) for quality education which is competitively priced,” he said.

TEACHERS from India are being recruited to teach here, not just for the Indian Mother Tongue languages but also for subjects such as English, history, geography and economics.

At least 70 of them have been hired in the last four years, with another 10 due here later this year, said a recruitment agency in India engaged by the Ministry of Education (MOE).

Some of these teachers have completed their training at the National Institute of Education (NIE); others are awaiting training or being trained.

Teachers recruited overseas for the schools here come from countries including Britain, Australia, China and India.

Asked about tapping India as a source of teachers, the MOE explained that the number of international teachers has remained small - at fewer than 620 or under 2 per cent of the 31,000-strong teaching force here.

It declined comment on whether it was ramping up its recruitment of foreign teachers or hiring more from India to cope with a shortage in certain areas.

It would say only that it has been looking overseas for 20 years to 'inject diversity and perspective' into the education system.

Anecdotal evidence from educators, however, seems to point to a specific shortage of economics teachers, created by such teachers leaving for the finance industry when the economy boomed four years ago.

The former principal of St Andrew's Secondary, Mrs Belinda Charles, who retired last year and is now dean at the Academy of Principals, said teachers are hired for specific needs.

'If there's no shortage, why bring them in?' she asked. 'It's logical to hire from India because they're culturally much closer to us,' she said.

The Academy for Professional Excellence (Apex), the agency in India that began recruiting teachers for MOE in 2006, said the first batch of eight teachers it recruited came here in 2007; the numbers have been rising since then, peaking at about 30 in 2009. Last year, 25 were hired.

Mrs Gargi Sen, 46, Apex's principal in charge of recruitment for MOE, said most of the hires come from Kolkata.

'In terms of content and language proficiency and accents, those from Kolkata are most suitable,' she said.

They are assessed on their qualifications, experience and language proficiency, among others, and are paid similar salaries as local teachers with comparable experience and qualifications.

One who arrived here last month is Mr Vivek Mukherjee, 25, who was teaching English language in Kolkata. He took a test in written English, went through an interview and conducted a demonstration class to clinch the job here.

Now in Chestnut Drive Secondary for a 10-week stint, the holder of a master's degree in English literature from the University of Calcutta is on a full scholarship to earn his Postgraduate Diploma in Education from NIE.

Nanyang Junior College principal Kwek Hiok Chuang said both his students and teachers benefit from the new perspectives these foreign hires give.

Some students said they do have some trouble understanding their new teacher's accent at first, but get used to it after a few lessons.

A local teacher from a top junior college who mentored a teacher from India was concerned that he was not used to the way lessons were run here.

'The teacher had a more traditional way of teaching - coming with a prepared speech and not expecting questions by students,' he said.

Mr Mukherjee, for example, said he has to get used to the rather more lively classroom culture here. He said: 'In Kolkata, students listen to you and the class is quiet. It's not the case here so it's a bit of a culture shock.'

Mats will never be able to speak like Indians because those shit can't even speak their own mudlay properly to be understood!
Chinese can't even speak proper english with properly trained qualified english teachers, and now english teachers from India? Wonder which is worst, speaking & shaking the head (southern) or speak like choking on a cock (northern)?

Nasihat dari Bapak.

Hati hati Najib kalau kamu ingat mau pakai Orang India ajar Bahasa Inggeris di Malaysia.

Najib, you better think about the pros and cons about recruiting these people from India. 350 years of British rule has not made them eloquent in English. The fact that they learn it the SA RAY GA MA PA (Do Rei Me Far So) way has quickened the death of proper pronounciation of the English.

Look at your own back-yards and into Singapore. Just look at the way you hear them speak English. Susah sekali nak faham apa dia kata.

Unless of course your intention is to expose your people to inferior English so that you as rulers will stay in power and speak better English.

Btw, Najib will you send your grandchildren to schools where such people are employed. Surely you will not, yah?

Better to turn to Singapore and get Singaporeans for that task. They are nearer and available.
