Practical limits to checks in hiring teaching staff
While stringent checks are necessary when hiring potential employees, there are practical limits and no system is completely effective in spotting problematic individuals. Ms Low Yen Ling, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education, said in Parliament yesterday:"While due diligence may be conducted thoroughly, there is unfortunately no system that is able to exhaustively keep out those who are out to lie and cheat.
"We are also mindful of not going to the extreme, and risk losing out on valuable talents," she added. Ms Low also told the House that a child psychology clinic, which Brochez was supposed to help set up in Temasek Polytechnic,"was never implemented, and Brochez was never involved in this initiative".
