PROSPERITY, SOLIDARITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE WITH PAKATAN RAKYAT

Prioritising Education & Educators

Recognising the immense contribution of our educators towards the nation’s development and social solidarity, Pakatan Rakyat pledges to:

• Provide  direct  funding  to  all types of  educational institutions  -  at all levels and for academic, technical and  vocational streams  -  in order to expand access to effective education for Malaysians of all walks of life. Our educators are the core of our education system and we would offer them direct assistance programmes, as recognition of their key role and their noble sacrifices and unrelenting service in nation building.
• Harmonize the pay of educators using the principle of fair assessment with consideration to expertise and length of service.
• Implement  a salary scheme with a fair and comprehensive assessment system  for teachers  which will be on par with that of engineers, accountants and doctors. This is our firm commitment to establish a
  quality education system.
• Re-evaluate current deployments in schools to ensure that all teachers are fully trained and qualified,  including  a resolution of the status of temporary teachers.
• Reduce the  bureaucratic  and administrative  burden faced by our educators. The UMNO/BN’s constant cycle of new education policies and its  emphasis on administrative perfection and complete reports  has come at  the  expense of time  which would have been  better spent in educating our future generations.
