A teacher in Madinah, who assaulted a pupil and then the pupil’s father, will be transferred to a school in a remote desert village and have his salary deducted, Al-Madinah newspaper reported yesterday.
Bahjat Junaid, the general manager of the Education Department in the Madinah region, ordered the teacher be transferred as punishment. The teacher, who has not been named, beat up Yasir Khoja and his father Abdullatif Khoja.
“I received a telephone call from my son at the end of the academic year. He wanted help and so I hurried to the school. When I saw Yasir, I thought he had fallen and didn’t think a teacher had beaten him up,” said Abdullatif.
The father said that when he went into the school, the teacher screamed at him and was abusive. He then beat him up. “I didn’t expect this to happen in an educational institution. This is a place where children should learn ethics before knowledge. How could such behavior come from a person who is supposed to teach our children ethics and morals,” said Abdullatif, who took Yasir to the Al-Ansar Hospital in Madinah following the assault.
“He had suffered bruises to his chest, back, right leg and hand. He had been beaten with a hose,” said Abdullatif, who also suffered bruises to his face and other parts of his body.
He added that he went back to the school to put an end to the problem. “The school said they would investigate the issue,” said Abdullatif.
“I then gave the medical report to the Education Department and lodged a complaint in which I explained what happened to Yasir,” said Abdullatif. “Although the marks will soon disappear, the psychological effect will last long,” he said.
He also said that when Yasir’s exam results came he was shocked to learn that the boy had failed both semesters in the subjects taught by the unnamed teacher. “When I consulted the school they promised to recheck the exam papers. Then I was told that my son failed only in the second semester,” he said.
Al-Madinah also reported that the school refused to provide the newspaper with contact details for the teacher.
