CYBER BULLYING CENTRE

ALL OVER THE world, the Education Ministries are looking at adopting new disciplinary guidelines for teachers to tackle Cyber Bullying among students.

In Malaysia, the Deputy Minister disclosed that the Minister had instructed the ministry to look into the guidelines and strengthen it.

''The guidelines are already there for the  teachers but we must improve these to make them more relevant by including, as an example, cyber bullying because, it has become an issue.

''The ministry is making improvement to the guidelines. This involves children and we be careful about it.,'' he said at a press conference.

He pointed out that under current disciplinary guidelines, there were no cyber bullying guidelines for teachers to take action on their students.

''NOW, the government has introduced smart classrooms in schools as it uses technology as part of the learning process.

''The ministry does not want students to be pressured because of cyber bullying and it is one of the several examples of the new guidelines for teachers,'' he said.
