KUALA TERENGGANU, Jan 25 (Bernama) -- Seventeen Fulbright English Teaching
Assistants (ETA) will be placed in premier and elite schools in Terengganu to
help raise proficiency in the language.
Terengganu Education, Higher Education, Science, Technology and Human
Resources Committee chairman Ahmad Razif Abd Rahman said this is the seventh
year the state has benefited from the ETA, a networking programme created to
promote educational exchange between Malaysia and the United States.
"The ETA programme, conducted since 2006, is nothing new. However, this year
the Education Ministry has taken over supervision from the state government," he
said.
A group of 50 of these teachers arrived in the country on Jan 4. Some of
them have been sent to serve in Johor and Pahang for 10 months beginning Jan 31.
