SGMM head undeterred over transfer order; to continue protest against PBS system


PETALING JAYA: Just a day before the planned protest on the school-based assessment (PBS) by teachers, Suara Guru Masyarakat Malaysia (SGMM) working committee head Mohd Nor Izzat Mohd Johari was shocked to receive an order from the state education department to transfer to a school, 80km from his home.

"It is totally unexpected. The drastic action shows the hard-handed attitude by the ministry towards teachers who are outspoken about an education policy which does not work," said Mohd Nor Izzat when contacted on Friday.
