BANGI: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says that teachers who are negligent, undisciplined, and perform poorly should be excluded from the time-based promotion privilege.
The Prime Minister explained that while the government accepts the principle of promotion on a time-based system, this facility would be revoked for teachers who are negligent and exhibit poor discipline.
“If the discipline of teachers is weak and they frequently miss school, I want to cancel their time-based promotions. We must be careful, but I believe 90% of them have no problem,” he said during the golden jubilee celebration of the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) on Saturday (July 13).
Also present were Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek, Public Service Department director-general Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz, Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, and NUTP president Aminuddin Awang. – Bernama
