A female teacher at a public school in Ras Al Khaimah is facing charges of lashing a 5th grade pupil with a plastic water pipe and making him stand in front of his class mates for nearly one hour, newspapers said on Friday.

The mother said her son Abdullah returned home from school suffering from bruises in various parts of his body, adding that she had to take him to hospital.

“Besides this cruel physical punishment, she also ordered my son to stand on his feet for one hour in front of his class mates…as a result, this has affected my son physically and psychologically,” she said.

She said she had filed a complaint to the education department and that officials are investigating the case.

“It was not the first time my son was beaten….I reported a teacher for beating my son last year…they say my son keeps moving and does not keep quiet in class…my husband has appealed to them many times not to hit him because he is ill.”
