MOE will protect teachers from 'unreasonable expectations' that affect their well-being

Teachers in Singapore do not need to share their personal phone numbers or answer non-emergency work messages after school hours. The Education Ministry announced this at its Annual Work Plan Seminar today, as part of moves to establish boundaries and protect the well-being of educators. MOE also stressed the importance of mutual courtesy and respect, warning that those who harass or abuse school staff will be firmly dealt with. It's also working to reduce teachers' workload.
