No compromise with teachers involved in sexual misconduct

KEPALA BATAS: The Ministry of Education will take stern action against any of its teaching staff found to have been involved in sexual misconduct cases.

Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching said the ministry would not hesitate to take severe disciplinary action against those involved when the case has been decided by the court.

“We want to emphasise here that the ministry will in no way compromise on sexual crime cases involving teachers as we take this matter very seriously,” she told reporters after visiting a new school project site in Bandar Putra Bertam, here yesterday. - Bernama
