Teachers criticize ministry’s planned code of ethics

An increasing number of Czech teachers are criticizing the planned code of ethics for educators, which was unveiled last week by the Education Ministry. The code calls on educators to promote sustainable development, to set a good example by their online presence and their private life. Some teachers have voiced reservations to what they see as excessive interference in their private lives. They also point out that the code would be hard to enforce and argue that they should have been invited to participate in the its drafting.
