Ajman’s education authorities and police are investigating charges against a local private school involving beating and insulting a schoolboy by his teacher and assaulting his father by the management, newspapers reported on Monday.
The emirate’s education zone said it would randomly pick some schoolboys to testify whether the African teacher beat up and insulted their 10-year-old classmate.
The zone’s director Ali Hassan said they had opened investigation at the request of the student’s father who complained that his son was ‘beaten up, assaulted and deeply insulted’ by the teacher in front of his classmates.
“We will hear testimonies from his classmates and some teachers…if the charges are true, that teacher will be sacked,” he said, quoted by ‘Al Bayan’ daily.
The paper said the student’s father also reported the teacher, the school headmistress and the supervisor to the police, accusing them of assaulting him.
“My son has greatly suffered from this irresponsible behaviour by the teacher…this teacher must be sacked because he does not deserve to be a teacher,” the father said.
