The Education Ministry is stepping up efforts to strengthen psychosocial support for the school community following the death of a school teacher in Hulu Selangor.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the ministry recognised the concerns among educators and the public following the incident, stressing that the mental wellbeing of the education community has always been a priority.
She said the ministry has been working with non-governmental organisations, the Health Ministry and school counsellors to strengthen mental health support.
Fadhlina has also paid a visit to the late teacher’s family to offer her condolences.
She was found dead in the school’s teachers’ room, with news of her death subsequently spreading among members of the school and wider community.
