SPOTLIGHT ON TEACHERS DISCIPLINE The Ministry of Education will continue to work on enforcing discipline among teachers and school heads says Minister Filipe Bole. “If teachers are committed to their work as teachers, then school improvement should come naturally. In that regard, any teacher who, during school hours, is seen out in the towns and cities or not attending to classes whilst at school, will be disciplined,” he said. “This is part of the ministry’s efforts towards improving school performance and making sure that students excel and make it in their education.” Mr Bole said parents invest with great hope in the education of their children. “It will be sinful of teachers and school heads if they do not reciprocate this commitment and realize the hopes and aspirations of parents and students,” Mr Bole said. “The Education Ministry is doing all it can to assist the parents in the financial burden of education and the onus is now on teachers and school heads to perform their duties with due diligence.” Mr Bole said they expected nothing less than the teachers’ best in the classroom and must dedicate their time and energy towards their teaching. “Teachers who do not show commitment and dedication to the profession will be pulled up and disciplined and this is a sign that they are not fit to teach or be entrusted with the hopes and dreams of parents and children of Fiji,” he said “Finally, the Ministry hopes that this message will be a wake-up call for all teachers to realise the importance of being a school teacher and the work that is required and expected in teaching.”
