The Kedah education department has removed two teachers embroiled in allegations of sexual misconduct from their posts.
In a statement, the department said it was investigating both cases, which are unrelated to each other.
“The department has taken action to remove the teachers involved from their respective institutions pending the outcome of investigations.”
It also said that it would not compromise on any form of sexual misconduct and remained committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of students, teachers, and all members of the education system.
While the department gave no details, its statement follows a Harian Metro report involving the circulation on social media of screenshots showing a sexually explicit conversation between a male teacher and a 15-year-old female student.
