Teachers Job Discription
Schools in Malaysia are heavily burden with extra jobs besides teaching. Teachers will be the main actors in making sure that all the extras are carried out in the best manner possible. With the KPI and NKRA requirements one has to put more efforts in making sure that the target achievement set is achieved. Thus teachers may have to sacrifice part of their time in carrying out these extra jobs. The time has come for us to restructure our education system in terms of work load and job specification for teachers.
