Those Who Can Teach, Teach...Those Who Can't, Please Pay Up!
I stumbled upon a rather bizarre article in Berita Harian today. Siti Suhana, an ex-NIE undergraduate, was dismissed by the institution after failing her practical evaluation for the second time. And now she owes MOE $76, 700, because technically, she has breached the bond with the ministry to teach at primary school level after her supposed graduation from NIE.
How is this possible? Alright, so she is not a very good teacher...but how could MOE have allowed this to happen? It is not as if she had breached the contract on purpose...she was failed. I mean, dismiss her...ban her from ever becoming a teacher again, for God's sake...but asking her to pay that amount of money is totally ludicrous! A new reality show hits town, honestly - You Better Pray You Don't Have To Pay; or Gambling For Your Career; or Teach or Breach.
What is next, then? Imprisonment for NS personnel discharged for mental disability?
