THE Rural and Regional Development Ministry is still in the process of restructuring the salary scale scheme of kindergarten teachers under the Community Development Department (Kemas).

Its deputy minister, Rubiah Wang said so far, the ministry had only announced an increase in the monthly allowance for Kemas volunteers from RM500 to RM800.

“Discussion is ongoing on the restructuring of salaries for Kemas teachers,”  she told reporters after opening the “Wanita Inspirasiku” (Wins) programme in Kota Samarahan today.

She said this when asked about the ministry’s proposal to restructure the salary scheme of 10,174 Kemas Kindergarten teachers. – Bernama, June 11, 2023.
