Gov't to monitor Johor teachers' online activities

The Johor education department has established a team to monitor the social media activities of the state's teachers and headmasters.

According to Sin Chew Daily, the plan - which covers Twitter and Facebook posts - aims to discourage teachers from being too political.

The daily quoted Johor Education Department director Mohd Nor Ghani stating that educators should not post any anti-government material to avoid influencing their students.

"I don't want any political or racial element in education, this will affect the students," he said at an education forum yesterday.
