Highlight and discuss in full five (5) major reasons that can lead to teacher’s termination from service

1. Professional Misconduct:
   • Engaging in unethical behavior, such as academic dishonesty, fraud, or other forms of professional misconduct, can be grounds for termination. This includes actions that violate the code of ethics and professional standards.
2. Incompetence or Poor Performance:
   • Consistently demonstrating inadequate teaching skills, failing to meet performance standards, or neglecting professional development opportunities may result in termination. Schools expect teachers to maintain a certain level of competency and effectiveness in their roles.
3. Violation of School Policies:
   • Disregarding school policies, rules, or regulations, whether related to student interactions, communication, or administrative guidelines, can lead to termination. Teachers are expected to adhere to the established rules of the educational institution.
4. Criminal Offenses:
   • Committing criminal offenses, whether inside or outside of the school setting, can lead to termination. Serious legal violations, such as drug-related offenses, violence, or abuse, may result in immediate dismissal.
5. Breach of Contract:
   • Violating the terms of the employment contract, including terms related to working hours, responsibilities, and contractual obligations, can be grounds for termination. Non-compliance with contractual agreements undermines the employer-employee relationship.
