Talk Show " Apa Khabar Malaysia"

Date : 25 Disember 2024

Platform : Rancangan Bual Bicara "Apa Khabar Malaysia" , Bernama TV

Title : Teacher Don't Retire Early

The President of the National Union of Teaching Profession (NUTP), Mr. Aminnudin bin Awang, appeared on the talk show Apa Khabar Malaysia to discuss the issue of early retirement among educators. In his remarks, he emphasized that excessive workload, continuous work pressure, and demands for communication outside of working hours are among the primary factors driving this decision.

Mr. Aminnudin bin Awang also stressed that although there are individuals who enter the teaching profession without deep passion, training at educational institutions usually succeeds in reigniting their enthusiasm and commitment. However, other challenges such as financial stability after reaching a certain grade, health issues, and environmental pressures cannot be overlooked.

He suggested a bottom-up approach in educational administration, allowing institutions to set goals based on their own capabilities and contexts. This approach is hoped to reduce pressure, particularly for schools in underprivileged areas, thereby creating a more conducive working environment for educators.

Through the insights shared, Mr. Aminnudin urged various parties to continue supporting efforts to safeguard the well-being of educators for the betterment of the nation's education system.
