source<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\nJOHOR BARU: The Education Department here has issued a show-cause letter to a teacher who had allegedly abused her pupils. <\/p>\n
The Tamil primary school teacher has also been ordered to go for counselling. <\/p>\n
The parents of a young girl recently told the The Star<\/i> that their daughter had been pinched, slapped and beaten with a broom and a metal rod since April until she became too traumatised to go to school. <\/p>\n
SJK(T) Yahya Awal headmaster M. Perumal said he knew of five to six pupils who had been beaten by the teacher. <\/p>\n
Johor Education director Mokhy Saidon said his department had spoken to the headmaster. <\/p>\n
“It is possible that the teacher is under stress because of family problems,” said Mokhy. <\/p>\n
He said the teacher would be given counselling, adding that an officer from the department would be sent to speak to her. <\/p>\n
Asked if the teacher, who has been in the profession for 17 years, would be suspended, Mokhy said: “Suspension and facing a disciplinary board will be the last resort if she continues to repeat her behaviour.” <\/p>\n
He advised teachers under stress to get religious help or to speak to their peers or even to him to release tension “without taking it out on the pupils.” <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kavitaanjali’s mother said the teacher, although on leave yesterday, had come to school and shouted at her daughter because the case had been highlighted in the media. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
