Teachers must get official nod to be in politics


TEACHERS are not prevented from participating actively in politics, but they have to obtain prior approval from their respective heads, Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said today.

The ministry did not stop teachers from joining political parties, as long as they complied with a circular issued by the ministry, he said after closing the Koperasi Guru-Guru Melayu Malaysia Barat Berhad (KGMMB) triennial delegates conference in Alor Star, Kedah recently.
