STATE schools have been given tips on how to deal with teachers who want a sex change.

The Victorian Education Department has told principals that concerns about any effects on students are not grounds for banning transgender teachers, the Herald Sun reports.

But schools are allowed to discriminate against such teachers if principals have a rational belief that there is a need to protect students' physical and emotional wellbeing.

Equal opportunity laws prohibit discrimination and harassment on the grounds of gender identity, prompting the department to issue the guidelines on its website.
