Guideline issued to strengthen teachers' ethics

A guideline on strengthening teachers' ethics and morality was released on Tuesday, following recent scandals that revealed some teachers' immoral or illegal behavior.

Drafted by the Ministry of Education, the guideline aims to establish a mechanism to prevent teachers from breaching professional ethics.

The guideline said teachers are subject to supervision from school officials, students and parents, and those who violate ethics and morality will be punished or dismissed.
