Absentee teacher case: Sabah students hope court ruling a lesson to all


KOTA KINABALU: The three students who won a landmark High Court suit against their teacher for failing to turn up for seven months in 2017 want this to be a lesson to all teachers and a motivation for students to speak up when their rights are violated.

In thanking her lawyer Sherzali Herza Asli and everyone who had supported this case one way or another, Rusiah Sabdarin, one of the three students, hopes that constant monitoring on teachers’ performance and attendance in schools will be prioritised.
