  "account": "The Ministry of Education (KPM) is enhancing the implementation of School Protection Policing to ensure it is practical without compromising its goal of safeguarding students' safety and well-being. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek stated that any issues or concerns raised by teachers regarding the enforcement of this policing will be investigated and handled through the appropriate administrative channels. KPM is now reviewing and improving aspects of the School Protection Policing implementation, which includes reviewing commitment documents related to considering feedback from police enforcement personnel and stakeholders, according to a statement in Parliament.\n\nFadhlina responded to Ahmad Johnie Zawawi (GPS-Igan) regarding the current status of the signing of the School Protection Policing Commitment Letter and actions taken by KPM towards teachers who have either refused or have yet to sign it. She emphasized that merely signing the commitment letter is not a measure of a teacher's commitment to student protection. The primary objective of the ministry is to ensure that every educational stakeholder understands and fulfills their responsibilities in creating a safe school environment.\n\nTeachers who have not yet signed or are hesitant to sign the commitment letter will be approached by KPM with explanations and clarifications about the purpose, scope, and implementation of the related policing, Fadhlina said. Earlier, the National Union of Teachers (NUTP) reportedly urged KPM to replace the requirement of signing the commitment letter with a pledge of mutual commitment. Senior Adviser Fouzi Singon noted that such a binding commitment through a written document might raise legal issues in the future. He reiterated that the regulation already exists, considering that both teachers and parents are already aware of their respective responsibilities.",
