Abuse of social media by teachers must stop

Constitution guarantees the freedom of expression, but this does not condone propaganda...

Teachers are expressing outrage over what they believe to be an attempt by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to enforce a social media ban on them. This comes in response to a circular issued by the TSC on August 13, which cautioned educators against engaging in cyberbullying, privacy violations, and unprofessional online behavior.

The directive has sparked concerns among the educators, particularly the younger ones, who maintain a significant presence on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). These platforms are not only used for teaching and sharing professional experiences but also for entertainment purposes.

The TSC's circular has left many teachers, especially the younger generation, worried that their online visibility might unfairly lead to repercussions.
