An inquiry is to be held over allegations that a female teacher at a school in Serunuwara had hung a pair of slippers round the neck of a schoolgirl as punishment for not wearing shoes to school.

Eastern Province Education Minister Wimalaweera Dissanayake is reported to have instructed the Serunuwara Zonal Education Director to submit a report after inquiring into the matter and that action would be taken against the teacher if she was found guilty of the offence.

The provincial minister said he would not condone any teacher acting in this manner and assured that the ministry too would conduct a disciplinary inquiry against this teacher.(DS)

The child might have not had shoes to wear due to peverty. What the teacher should have done is to buy a pair of shoes to the student

An education system which sidelines human values begets teachers (and others) who lack human values.

No wonder the education system and the educationists are in shambles. Makes one wonder who is teaching whom.
