June 5, 2010, Saturday
PASIR PUTEH: Principals and headmasters of primary and secondary school must allow teachers in their respective schools to go on leave for at least two Saturdays in a month to reduce their stress.Education Ministry director-general Tan Sri Alimuddin Mohd Dom said they (principals and headmasters) cannot force teachers to be involved in co-curriculum or academic activities every Saturday.
“A circular has been issued to all schools regarding the matter,” he told reporters at Sekolah Menengah Sains Pasir Puteh here on Thursday night when commenting on grouses and complaints from teachers that headmasters and principals were forcing them to conduct extra classes every Saturday.
Alimuddin said schools can have extra curricular activities on alternate Saturdays, based on a roster, to give time for teachers to spend some time with their families.
He added that if a public holiday happens to fall on a Saturday, schools cannot force teachers to be on duty.
hmmm.... what bout us... 24/7 no weekends or public holidays. haiz.... any comments?
