Are teachers giving wrong information?


THERE are teachers who misled students in secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur and probably other parts of the country.

A teacher at SMK Dato Lokman told students that wearing head cover (tudung) that did not cover the breast will cause cancer of the breast!

How could the teacher do such thing and on what basis and evidence is there that not covering the breast area with tudung will cause cancer?

Aren’t teachers supposed to provide correct and accurate information and knowledge to their students?

The Education Ministry should take appropriate action to stop such misinformation by teachers.
