Teachers should stick to core duties

I REFER to the report, “Teachers in politics draw concern” (The Star, Jan 25; online at https://bit.ly/3GYU1EN). I am shocked at the sudden announcement that teachers are now allowed into politics, as I have not heard of any attempt by any group lobbying for this in mainstream or social media. If there were such a group, it would surely be ridiculed.

We have often heard of teachers being burdened with overcrowded classrooms, administrative duties, courses to attend and co-curricular activities.
