Meanwhile the School Management has lodged a formal complaint at Ada George Police Division where the teacher was issued a medical form to proceed to the clinic for treatment.

In the meantime, National Coordinator Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability Campaign, Prince Wiro has condemned the alleged assault on the female teacher and invasion of the school by the student’s family.

Mr. Wiro stated that the parents of the student should have reported to the Ministry of Education if they felt their child was treated inappropriately or the Police in case of physical assault rather than taking laws into their own hands.
