The involvement of teachers in elections has resulted in interruption to student learning because of teacher absenteeism. Also, the safety of teachers and students is threatened with election related violence.
Sanangkepe is appealing to the Teachers Services Commission and the Secretary for the Department of Education to exempt teachers from participating in future elections, and concentrate on educating children.
He said the education of the child depends on these human resource builders. Teachers and students alike need to be protected from election related violence.
