00:00A teachers group says some teachers are taking on part-time jobs to pay off debts incurred

00:06from living beyond their means.

00:08Azizi Hassan, president of Ikatan Guru Muslim Malaysia, said the number of part-time teachers

00:14is very small, however, he added that there are still many teachers who are committed

00:19to their profession.

00:20He told FMT that some teachers have been found trying to supplement their income with part-time

00:25jobs in order to keep up with the high cost of living, especially in cities.

00:30He was commenting on a reminder from education minister Fadlina Siddiq that teachers looking

00:35to take on part-time jobs must first obtain approval from the education ministry.

00:40According to a 2023 circular, approval must be obtained two months beforehand.

00:45The circular also states that civil servants involved in online businesses are considered

00:49to have taken on part-time work.

00:51Azizi said it was crucial that teachers abide by the guidelines as failing to do so could

00:56potentially affect their focus at schools.

00:59He said it will affect the educational system and the teachers' quality of work, adding

01:03that in the end, the victims will be the students.
