Solomone Vakatale, an attendee at the Ba consultation on the review of the Education Act, has highlighted what he said, were cases of teachers being sexually and verbally harassed by students.
Speaking at the Ba Civic Centre on Wednesday, he said while there is a Child Protection Policy in place, there is no provision for a teacher protection policy.
“We, the teachers in the classroom, have been suffering so much and, on humanitarian grounds, I strongly believe that there should be a policy to safeguard the welfare of teachers,” Mr Vakatale said.
