A teacher in Japan lost his main job due to working extra hours. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
A 60-year-old school teacher engaged in selling at a store near his home to increase his salary. Although this action was not considered illegal, the local education system has a strict stance on such situations.
The situation was revealed after one of the customers who visited the store complained to the education department. After receiving the report, the school principal personally went to the store, investigated the situation, and emphasized that the teacher's additional activities negatively impacted the educational process.
As a result, the teacher was dismissed. Interestingly, the teacher had never missed a class, treated students with care, and performed his duties conscientiously.
However, the administration also forced him to apologize in front of parents and students. Experts believe that there is a negative perception of working extra hours in Japan.
They argue that this situation leads to fatigue and negligence in the main job. Therefore, government agencies, especially educational institutions, demand strict discipline in this matter.
On the other hand, many consider this decision to be excessive strictness. They believe that the teacher's extra work was related to financial needs and should have been approached with understanding.
This situation also sparked widespread discussions on social media. While some defended the teacher, others supported the system.
In any case, this incident prompted a deep reflection on how to approach professional ethics in Japan.
