The Sarawak Teachers’ Union says while the concept is not new, its implementation has long been hindered by subject suitability and teacher shortages.

PETALING JAYA: The Sarawak Teachers’ Union has urged the education ministry to prioritise filling teacher vacancies and upgrading school facilities before rolling out its proposed co-teaching model slated for 2027.

STU president Kullin Djayang said while co-teaching is not new, its implementation has long been hindered by factors such as subject suitability and teacher shortages, which have stalled carrying out such teaching techniques effectively.

“We urge the education ministry to fill teacher vacancies first before implementing co-teaching in 2027, especially in Sarawak,” he said in a statement.
