Not enough staff to teach three new subjects

Not enough staff to teach three new subjects:
Despite good intention by the Ministry of Education (ME) to introduce three new subjects into the national curriculum there aren’t enough teachers to teach them.

“Previously 15 subjects were offered in the curriculum however this has increased to 18. The only problem is there aren’t enough teachers to teach the new ones,” said Francisco da Costa Fernandes, Secretary General for the Timor-Leste Teacher’s Union, from his office in Farol, Dili.
