Suara Hati Ayahku

Salam.

I read the Sunday Star today after Subuh prayer in Masjid Kampung Sireh, Kota Bharu, Kelantan. You know what? First page ..it printed ' 70% teachers in Malaysia are ladies!'

2) So what? That must be the first question that pop out from my head. Imagine .. out of 10 teachers at any school, 7 of them are ladies and the rest are men. There are many implications from this statistics. It means that for any teaching post examples 'the Head' of a school, any lady teacher stands 70% chance to get that post. Only 30% chance will go for the man teacher. The most probable job would be Discipline Teacher will go straight to the man, right? next job is P.E teacher cum 'driver' would be the man teacher too and last but not least history cum 'escort' teacher for school's trips after SPM, PMR would also be for the man. The rest of the other jobs could be easily grabbed by the ladies. Examples: Principal, Assistant Principal I and II, Ko-Kurikulum Head, Language Head, Maths and Science Head, .., annd the list will go on. For the ladies teacher, I am afraid. Congratulations!

3) The next question is - where have the boys gone? Aren't they not interested to join the teaching profession? A story could answer this. One of my top boy students went for a teacher interview last 4 months. After going all the written tests and interview .. unfortunately .. he got a letter. 'Dukacita .. dimaklumkan permohonan anda .. tidak berjaya'. Iasked him why? Sheepishly , he answered the interviewing panel was comprised of 70% lady. The remaining 30% panel went out for toilet / just go out for a puff (smoking) at the back of the toilet when he went in the interviewing room. Hard Luck, my boy. Ha..ha.. in short the men were not there to pick when my boy went for the last interview.

4) Impact? I think I do not need to write on this point because all dailies .. published all kind of stories about .. discipinary problem between students and teachers/ fighting between teachers and parents// and many manny more. Who wants to discipline the kids now when u know all well that ur nnew car will be jeopardized to all sorts of speghetti scratching , permanent red paint and many more.

5) Lastly, many ladies are not yet marrried .. why? The men have no jobs to find the dowries etc etc in order to get the hands of the teachers. I think the ladies must do something ... here. Get your men please. Live well my teachers! OOps . wait ..


In 1969 - 1975 ; at that time , most schools had 80% men teacher and 20% lady teacher. Something must be wrong somewhere. Has the mother delivering 70% more baby girl than the boy nowadays? may be maybe. Our diet .. could explain this 70% story. Fast food, easy life, going to and from school by cars, .. , 2 day camping within the school compounnd , .. easy life, right? he..he.. Now the bomb! no one month bonus. Only imbuhan RM500 for us all DG54 and below. What a hack ..
