[Reporter Fang Zhixian / Kaohsiung Report] The teachers of Guoguang High School affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University complained to the National Federation of Education Industry, saying that teachers diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia (new coronavirus disease, COVID-19) were quarantined at home for 7 days. Taking care of themselves, teachers who are diagnosed with illness still need to teach online, otherwise they will have to pay for the substitute lessons themselves.

In this regard, Guoguang High School said that after the outbreak of the epidemic, 28 teachers were diagnosed one after another, of which 26 were teaching online, and only 2 teachers asked for a 7-day substitute for public expenses. The school considered personnel costs and could only pay for 3 days.

According to the National Education Industry Federation, according to the Ministry of Education's "Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Severe Special Infectious Pneumonia in Schools and Kindergartens below Senior Secondary Schools", all teaching and staff members who have been diagnosed with the disease should take public leave, and the school will assist in arranging the teachers' left-over tasks.

Schools at all levels in Gao City follow the instructions of the Ministry of Education. The teachers who have been diagnosed can be sent on public holidays after 7 days of living. The school’s personnel expenses are used to pay for the lessons left behind. Only Guoguang High School does not ignore the Ministry of Education’s epidemic prevention guidelines and requires the teachers who are diagnosed to live in compulsory residence. You need to teach online if you are sick every 7 days, otherwise you will have to pay for the substitute lessons.

Quan Jiaochan said that a teacher at Guoguang High School was diagnosed with a high fever of 40 degrees for 3 consecutive days and no sound for the 4th day. Take "the class you took leave last week", otherwise you will have to pay the substitute fee.

Quan Jiaochan said that the school still requires all teachers who have been diagnosed to teach online or return to the school after the school has adjusted classes, or ask other teachers to take the class instead and be asked to pay for the substitute class.

Such violations of the central decree are still ongoing.

Quanjiaochan called on Guoguang High School to administer according to law, stop misinterpreting the decrees of the Ministry of Education and treat employees harshly, and properly handle the previously misinterpreted principles of epidemic prevention and leave, and diagnose teachers in a fair way.

In this regard, the Academic Affairs Office of Guoguang High School stated that 28 teachers have been diagnosed with the disease one after another. Among them, 26 teachers are teaching online, and 2 teachers are asking for substitute classes on public holidays. The diagnosis is 7 days off, and 2 days of vacation days are deducted. In fact, there are 5 days of school days. The school's personnel expenses were tight, so I helped pay for 3 days of substitute tuition.

Guoguang High School emphasized that the Ministry of Education's guidelines stipulate that teachers should be diagnosed and take public leave. The school will assist in arranging the remaining lessons, not the school. However, the substitute fees are not all paid by the school.
