Teachers warned against doing business without approval
PETALING JAYA: Teachers doing business without the approval of the Education Ministry are a disgrace to the profession and could face disciplinary action.
“It is against their professional ethics to do so,” said Schools Division director Noor Rezan Bapoo Hashim.
“Although the ministry understands that some teachers need extra income, bearing in mind the high cost of living in the Klang Valley and some places, they must go through the proper channels she told The Star when commenting on a press report that some teachers could earn up to RM10,000 by giving private tuition and, because of this, were not giving their best in school.
“We are not insensitive to the teachers’ plight but everything should be above board.
“Why work with the Government if you can make so much money outside?
“I am disgusted with the action of such teachers. They lack integrity and are taking advantage of their situation and parents’ anxiety over examination results to make money.”
“Teachers intending to do part-time jobs must first apply through the service division of their respective state education departments,” she said, adding that permission was usually granted subject to several conditions.
“Generally, they are only allowed to do up to four hours of work per week.”
For example, the work they do must not jeopardise or be in conflict with their jobs as teachers.
Furthermore, it must be done outside school hours and must not interfere with school, including co-curricular, activities.
