“The approval for 77 teaching posts has been obtained, and we will be submitting further applications in the future for the government’s consideration,” he said when met after a radio interview here on Thursday.
Awang Juri said discussions had also been held with the State Public Service Department and the State Public Service Commission to explore opportunities for further recruitment.
