Education authorities in Ras Al Khaimah have decided to investigate a female teacher who pinched the ear of a little school boy for making noise in class, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The mother of the seven-year-old student at a government school in the northern emirate complained to the head mistress that her son suffered from light bleeding in his ear because of the pinch and said the teacher’s act in class “gave a negative image of the education process in the UAE.”
The head mistress assured the mother that violence against students is not accepted and is against the ministry of education’s rules. She said that case had been referred to education authorities for investigation.
“We have received the complaint from that mother and the school management will take the necessary measures against the teacher,” said Abdullah Al Shehi, director of Ras Al Khaimah education zone.
“Violence against students is totally rejected at schools no matter what the reasons are…the ministry of education does not allow such practices and has specified penalties against violators.”
