TRENGGALEK - The Indonesian Teachers' Association (PGRI) Trenggalek Regency, East Java, will not provide legal assistance to teachers who are suspected of committing sexual abuse against five male students at school.
"We have held a meeting and it was agreed that this was a deviant act and would not provide legal assistance", said the Head of the Trenggalek Regency PGRI Munib reported by ANTARA, Sunday, February 26.
There were several considerations before PGRI decided not to provide legal assistance to these unscrupulous teachers who were still members.
Relevant action, he said. considered defaming and tarnishing educational institutions.
"What is more burdensome is that the action was carried out in the school environment when teaching and learning activities were in progress", he said.
On the other hand, he continued, acts of sexual immorality were committed against children which could have an impact on changing the behaviour of the child who was the victim and thus impacting the child's future.
"Based on these considerations, the organization does not prevent the person concerned from being processed according to applicable law, including the staffing rules. Because the action is related to the morals of a teacher, so whatever the reason, it is wrong", he said.
Munib said that what the teacher did violated the code of ethics. The case that drags on its members is not proper for a teacher to do, especially since the teacher also doubles as the acting principal of the school.
