Teachers, he stated, should be given the chance to learn from experts as they are very important groups of people who affect the lives of the young for the rest of their lives.He explained that Earcos is an organisation of a total of 116 member international schools with more than 93,000 students from East Asia and all over the world, and has organised conferences here on four occasions.The conferences are held among international school teachers and headmasters to help them understand their job better, to share experiences and knowledge on how to be better and help them develop in line with global changes and advancement."The reason why I like coming back to Sabah, and Kota Kinabalu particularly, is because of the warmth and hospitality of its people, the environment of Sabah and the unity that we see," Krajczar said.
