More mid-career professionals consider joining teaching force

Looks like MOE embarking on a recruitment spree, taking advantage of the downturn to coax more people to take up teaching.
But reading the article, I wonder if again, they are getting the wrong type of people?? Or just trying to use the current situation to quickly make up the numbers?
Even before securing the teaching post, the interviewees are already "complaining" about pay cut, loss of managerial priveleges, etc.
Seems that they will get a minimum of 4-week real teaching experience in real school before committing to NIE... should send these jokers to neighbourhood normal acad or normal tech to gauge their "under-utilised talent and experience" (to quote one interviewee...)
