EDUCATION Minister Radzi Jidin is ready to meet a primary school teacher who claims to have received a disciplinary letter following his actions in voicing the problems of the learning syllabus, the issue of heavy schoolbags, and the large number of students in each class.

Radzi, via a Facebook post, said the meeting would allow him to learn more about the issues raised.

“I am interested to know more about the matter raised by Cikgu Mohd Fadli Salleh. If he has time, we can meet,” he said.

Fadli, who is a mathematics teacher at a primary school in Gombak, in a Facebook post claimed he would be sacked or demoted for voicing his views on the syllabus, which he believes is way too advanced and unsuitable for the intended age group.

He also spoke about the number of students in the class, which he said was too large, besides students having too many subjects and heavy schoolbags, which he said could be harmful to the student’s health.

In his latest post, Fadli said he will meet Radzi sometime. – Bernama, October 16, 2022.
