How does curriculum implementation influence teachers' quota? This was the question I posed to a group of about 30 school inspectorates in Sabah when presenting a staff development lecture on Curriculum Management las Monday 18 August 2008 (1400-1600) at Kompleks Tabung Haji Kota Kinabalu. It is indeed almost insignificant to deliberate on teachers' quota in Malaysian schools based on the National Curriculum because there is no mention how schools subject are used as the determinant for teaching personnel a school should have. I was (again) mentioning the skill-based teachers' quota whereby each subject is sub-allocated into various skills as coherent to the learning objectives set for the students. In language subjects, at least five skills ought to be looked into: writing, spelling, grammar, composition and oral skill. The allocation of teachers based on these will allow a school to have five teachers for English Language for lower primary (year 1-3). This has been practised in a number of countries, developing and developed.
