Kuala lumpur: A parliamentary committee is set to present a statement regarding bullying in schools next Thursday. The statement will address the responsibilities of teachers and the appointment of school wardens.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, concerns have been raised about the additional burden placed on teachers who are tasked with acting as wardens. The added role can impact the quality of their teaching, particularly when they need to step out of the classroom to manage student conflicts. It has been suggested that external candidates be considered for warden positions to prevent disruptions in teaching.

Further recommendations include providing specific leeway for teachers who are appointed as wardens, such as reducing their workload and increasing their allowances. This would help ensure that teachers can manage their responsibilities effectively and maintain a sense of ownership over their roles.

The process of appointing school wardens should involve thorough background screenings and psychometric tests to guarantee their suitability for working with children. It is crucial to avoid appointing individuals with a history of inappropriate behavior with children to these positions.
