The Education Ministry in Malaysia has recently addressed the issue of teacher shortages in four subjects, namely Design and Technology (RBT), Malay Language (BM), English Language (BI), and Islamic Education. The ministry has proposed several ways to refine the recruitment methods and is planning to conduct a recruitment exercise to offer qualified teachers in phases. The shortage of teachers is a long-standing issue that cannot be solved overnight, and it may take two or three years to tackle it completely.

In the meantime, students can still excel academically with the help of innovative learning solutions like AskGuru App. AskGuru is planning to help B40 students across Malaysia with Free AskGuru App access. This app is a leading video-guided learning platform that offers a comprehensive range of study materials for Form 4 and 5 students guided by Examiners, Jurulatih Utama, Guru Cemerlang and Subject Specialist.

In conclusion, the teacher shortage in Malaysia is a long-standing issue that requires time and effort to be resolved.
