KUWAIT CITY, April 16: A number of lawmakers extended support to school teachers and spoke on the importance of providing protection to teachers and including the profession in the ‘tough jobs’ category during a seminar organized by Kuwait Teachers Society (KTS) recently, reports Al-Anba daily.
Some lawmakers even stressed on treating school teachers at par with those of the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET).
During the opening speech, Chairman of the society Ayed Al-Sahli said teachers play an indispensable role in the development of education and the society in general. Referring to the proposal on extending school hours, he said “teachers would have been the first to vote for it, if it could benefit the educational process.”

teachers need protection rightsBill Bowers | 4/18/2010 3:48:57 AM First of all this is the first I have ever heard in my life that people do not care about the protection of the teachers as well of students. I have heard several issues involving teachers and students when the student lies on the teachers because the student does not get their way. When students claim my parents in the government seat or hold some type of official seat. And use that to threaten teachers this must be a real Joke. They need to start enforcing student discipline and hold parents responsible for their child's actions. They need to put kids on lie detector to prove the student is lying and when that occurs they need to hold the maximum penalty against the student and the parents. Teachers are the ones who teach the children education, socializing, and maturity. Without education, discipline look for example how the students act in public like juvenile idiots without respect to their selves, the law, people around them.these people need to learn from their neglect and problems. If they do not fix it now you may loose alot of teachers and have severe problems with kids. Come on people around the world need to see this.
