Teachers join anti-government protesters on February 20, 2011 in Manama, Bahrain.
Bahrain police have abducted six female teachers from school in Muharraq following the regime's crackdown on anti-government protesters.
The teachers were kidnapped on Tuesday, witnesses said.
On Monday, Bahraini security forces arrested eight teachers and several pupils in the town of Hamad.
Meanwhile, the Bahraini education ministry formed a committee tasked with taking action against school officials taking part in anti-government protests and strikes.
Reports said some heads of schools, administration staff as well as teachers have already been summoned for questioning.
To express solidarity with the ongoing revolution, thousands of teachers, called by the Bahrain Teachers Society, went on a strike in February and again during in March.
People in Bahrain have been protesting since February 14, demanding an end to the rule of the Al Khalifa dynasty.
