Errant teachers in Flores

KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: The regencies of East Flores and Sikka employ many teachers with behavioral problems, some of whom may soon face dismissal, Antara reported yesterday.

The news agency quoted head of the local Education and Culture office I Nyoman Kusumanata as saying yesterday that around 100 teachers have been found to have committed various violations, including going absent without leave and committing adultery.

"We may have to dismiss some of them," Kusumanata said.
