Apart from complying with the provisions of the Teachers Act, junior colleges may also set out additional regulations governing teachers’ rights & obligations in the college regulations and may prescribe separate regulations governing teachers’ suspension or non-renewal of their appointment, based on professional and technological development requirements. Such regulations shall be implemented after being considered and approved by the junior college’s governing board and included in employment agreements.

Junior colleges shall set up a teacher performance evaluation system to evaluate teachers’ teaching, research & development, guidance of students, and other services they are providing. The results of a teacher’s performance evaluation are key reference material when considering promotion, renewal of appointment, long-term appointment, suspension, non-renewal of appointment, and incentive awards.
The methods, procedures, and specific measures for undertaking the performance evaluation referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be implemented after being deliberated on and approved by the junior college’s governing board.
