No discrimination in staff recruitment, says Education Ministry

The Education Ministry has never set any conditions that discriminate certain race, belief or gender when submitting its requests for recruitment of staff to the Education Service Commission (SPP).

Referring to a media report by Malaysia Nanban on claims that there were no job opportunities for the Indian community in the education sector, the ministry said the report was untrue and baseless.

"The Education Ministry and SPP do no set aside any race because education is a sector that requires the involvement of all qualified people regardless of race and religion to provide for quality education,” said the ministry in a statement today.

It said the recruitment of education staff is handled by SPP professionally and with integrity based on merit and qualification of candidates.
