In Kazakhstan، a legal question has arisen regarding whether teachers can publicly label students as underperformers in parent chat groups. Lawyer Sabina Akhmetova has shed light on the legal ramifications of sharing student academic progress and difficulties in school communication channels.

Personal Data and Privacy Concerns

According to Akhmetova، information about grades، academic standing، and homework completion constitutes personal data. Disclosing such details without the consent of the legal representatives of minors is prohibited and could be considered a violation of data protection laws.

Psychological Impact on Children

Kazakh legislation mandates the protection of children from psychological harm، bullying، and humiliation. Akhmetova emphasized that publicly highlighting a student's academic struggles can be deeply humiliating، damage their self-esteem، and create a situation where they feel victimized.

Pedagogical Ethics

Beyond legal concerns، such actions by teachers also contravene pedagogical ethics. This approach fails to respect the dignity of the student as an individual.

Proper Communication Channels

The lawyer stressed that discussions about academic performance and behavior should be conducted through private messages or one-on-one conversations with parents. General chat groups are intended for organizational announcements and should not feature any personal student data.
