The Teaching Service Commission Acting Chairman, Maini Mike Ugaia, has issued a stern warning to students, parents, and communities across the nation to respect teachers.
Ugaia made this statement following the recent brutal attack on the Headmaster of Morobe Technical High School.
“This is a serious criminal matter, and the police will deal with the perpetrators accordingly,” Ugaia stated.
To assess the immediate impact of the incident, the Acting Chairman has directed the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) Advisor for Morobe Province to visit the school immediately and submit a comprehensive situation report.
He made it clear that the Commission will no longer tolerate the victimization of its workforce.
“Teachers provide a vital service to the development of our children and our country, and their safety cannot be compromised,” Ugaia stated.
“If communities continue to attack teachers, the TSC will remove them from that school and reassign them to different schools. There will be no educational services for communities that fail to respect and protect our teachers.”
Ugaia also called on local community leaders, ward members, and peace officers to actively intervene and resolve local conflicts before they escalate into violence against teachers.
