THE Ministry Of Education (MOE) will embark on a hiring blitz next year despite the poor state of the economy, and aims to get 7,500 more teachers and teaching assistants on its payroll.
In addition to boosting its ranks, the ministry will also give the economy a fillip by accelerating its scheme to equip each school with an indoor sports hall by 2014 and explore the building of Centres of Excellence in areas such as arts, music and sports.
