A government teachers’ body has voiced opposition to a notice served to an official after a circular concerning a student protest was pulled back.
The government teachers' association has publicly opposed a notice issued to a senior official following the withdrawal of a circular that addressed a student protest. The body argued that the notice appears punitive and undermines the teachers' role in safeguarding educational discourse.
According to the association, the circular was initially meant to guide institutions on handling the protest, but it was retracted amid administrative confusion. The subsequent notice, they claim, targets the official responsible for the withdrawal rather than addressing the underlying concerns of students and educators.
The teachers' body has called for a review of the decision-making process and urged the authorities to engage with educators before taking disciplinary actions. It emphasized that constructive dialogue is essential to maintain a stable academic environment.
