KUALA NERUS, January 31 — Teachers intending to take on part-time jobs must secure approval from the Ministry of Education (MoE) to ensure these roles do not interfere with their teaching responsibilities, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek stated. Emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus on the classroom, Fadhlina advised educators to prioritize the teaching and learning process as part of their commitment to enhancing education quality.
Addressing concerns about teacher transfer requests, Fadhlina refuted claims that viral social media posts expedite the process. She clarified that all transfers follow proper procedures, with priority given to factors such as long-distance spouse issues, safety, and health. Transfer requests, accepted year-round, are only processed during school holidays to minimize disruptions to the education ecosystem.
