1.0 INTRODUCTION

Teachers of now days find difficult when comes to the issue of schools administration work especially at Under Enrolment Schools (UES) when the teaching activities come. Teacher cannot perform well because burden by the school administration tasks. Although its part of the teachers work, but its seems affects not only the teacher but also the student who cannot get full education.

Course which set by the Kedah educational department and Padang Terap and Pendang District educational Department

2.0 BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM

Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil Ladang Bukit Jenun (SJKT Ldg Bkt Jenun) or my research area has about 40 students and 5 teachers and its categorized as UES. This problem was occurred since year 2000. Since that, administration works getting higher and some action were taken to overcome this problem. Setting a timetable to finish up the file work is one of the way was followed by the teacher in order to decrease the administration work. The teacher also works till night and some of them travel from Sungai Petani to school only for doing file works and some other administration work. But this ways dint give significant results because the administration work keep rising day to day and some of the teacher also have to go out station or attending the course. So the pending works makes them cannot finish up the administration works in time.

4.0 FACTORS CONTRIBUTING THE PROBLEM

Delaying Work

Pressure from Educational Department

Factors
Too much outstation and course

Fewer Teachers

4.1 Delaying Works The teacher at SJKT Ldg Bkt Jenun sometimes delaying their work, so they can teach the student when comes exam time. Teacher has to give full concentrate to them since this school situated in rural area. Moreover, the teacher also sometimes neglects their work in order to spend their personal time. From the interviews we found that most of the teacher neglects their administration work to complete teaching activities. 4.2 Fewer Teachers SJKT Ldg Bkt Jenun has very few teachers. Some more two of them go out for their further study and one of them is the Head Master, Mr. Ravi. So, fewer teachers have to do all the administration works by their self. Moreover

JUE 300 ENGLISH II

the District Education Department gives a lot course to enhanced students and teachers performance, but its causing the teacher more burdens to carry out. The work have to done by 5 people has been shifted to 3 people only.

4.3 Pressure from Education Department Kedah Educational Department and Padang Terap/Pendang Districy Educational Department always need the progress of each school up to date. So the tasks and administration work given have to pass up in certain time. Its gives pressure to the SJKT Ldg Bkt Jenuns teachers because they have to concentrate on teaching process and the same time have to finis the administration work.

4.4 Too much Outstation and Course

The both educational department keep giving a lot outstation activities and courses in order to create more professional teacher. This kind of activities is not very suitable when UE School comes. The teachers always busy on their course and most of the time they are not around at the school. This can affect the teaching process and also doing their administration work.

6.0 RECOMMENDATION

Held the courses and outstation on weekends or holidays

Divide time to teaching process and administration work

Recommendation

Create systematic timetable

Hire more teachers

6.1 Held the courses and outstation on weekends or holidays

Its a problem when the course and the outstation activities held on school days. We suggested the educational department to hold the events on weekend days or holidays in order to overcome the burden. Its mean, teachers at UE School doesnt have to worry out to do three works on school days. Teacher can concentrate their teaching activities on morning and does the administration work after the school. So there is no delaying work or the burden of the school administration work.

6.2 Divide time to teaching process and administration work Its important to the teacher to manage their time into more profitable. Teachers must have their own time schedule so they can divide the teaching activities and the administration work. We suggested that when comes teaching process, teachers must have to give their full concentrate on that. Do not mix up two works in the same time as usual done at SJKT Ldg Bkt Jenun. Creating significant personal time table will enhance the teaching activities among the teachers.

6.3 Create systematic timetable We also suggested the Kedah Educational Department and Padang Terap/ Pendang Educational department create a systematic time table in term giving the file work and courses to the teacher. They also must consider the UE School before setting the time table. Dividing the file works and courses will enhanced the teacher performance and also help the teacher can manage their time more profitable.

6.4 Hire more teachers Fewer teachers are another problem that SJKT Ldg Bkt Jenun faced. So its suggested to hire 2 more teacher in order lessen the burden. Seems 2 teachers are undergoing their degree program, hire two more contract or permanent teacher will help the existing teacher at SJKT Ldg Bkt Jenun.
