Teachers’ Act Article 18

If a teacher’s conduct constitutes a violation of any pertinent laws or regulations, and the educational institution or the authority concerned has investigated and confirmed that the violation occurred, and the nature of the violation does not warrant dismissal of the teacher but it is necessary to suspend them, the educational institution’s Teacher Evaluation Committee may examine and consider the circumstances of the case, and it may pass a resolution to suspend the teacher for a period of between six months and three years, and the educational institution shall impose the suspension decided on, after a Teacher Evaluation Committee meeting attended by at least two-thirds of its members has deliberated the matter and at least two-thirds of the members in attendance support a resolution to do so, and after the disciplinary measure has then been reported to and approved by the Competent Authority.During the period of the suspension referred to in the preceding paragraph, a teacher is not permitted to apply for retirement or severance with pay, nor to undertake any teaching in any educational institution.
