Teachers warned of unethical behavior

Any teacher caught abusing, molesting or sexually harassing students will be banned from teaching at any school, the Ministry of Education said on Friday.

Their teaching credentials, academic titles and honors will also be revoked, and their information will be recorded in the national teachers' information system and no school will be allowed to hire them again, according to four guidelines released on the ministry's website.

Teachers accused of committing crimes will be referred to law enforcement authorities and schools that fail to supervise their teachers or who help cover up their misbehavior will also be held accountable, according to the guidelines.
