AS OF last month, about 1,900 teachers have been recruited by the Ministry of Education (MOE) during this recruitment year.

Considering that it set out to hire 2,300 this recruitment year, having hired 1,900 means it has hit 82 per cent of its target, said its spokesman.

The 1,900 were picked from among the more than 15,000 who applied to become teachers.
