The Education Ministry is in discussion with the Public Service Department on further actions to be taken against teachers who refused the Covid-19 vaccines.

Its minister Radzi Jidin said unvaccinated teachers, including those who were ineligible due to health reasons, will not be allowed to return to their classrooms once schools reopen beginning Oct 3.
