The rules of conduct for teachers touches on areas such as Conduct, misconduct, general behavior, flouting lawful authority among others.
“The rules and regulations in the Code should not be regarded merely as a catalogue of offences, and penalties or restraint on students’ freedoms. They are rather meant to ensure that the conditions for effective teaching and learning are created and maintained in the country’s pre- tertiary educational institutions,”part of the code of conduct read.
