Caning Students

CCC suggests suspending teacher

Our Correspondent, ctg
Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) yesterday recommended suspension of a teacher of Saleh Jahur City Corporation Kindergarten for caning two students.
Shirin Akter, an English teacher of the school, caned the students ruthlessly on Saturday despite a High Court ban on all forms of corporal punishment at educational institutions.
Ahmedur Rahman Faruki, assistant education officer of CCC, visited the school yesterday and listened to accounts of the accused teacher, one of the victim students and his father for two hours from 9:30am in presence of the principal of the kindergarten.
"The accused admitted to caning the duo as they were fighting with each other," Faruki told The Daily Star.
“She [Shirin] verbally apologised for the incident. But it was in no way a good practice to punish students physically,” said Faruki, who had later submitted his probe report to Nurul Alam Nizami, chief education officer of CCC.
In the report, he recommended suspending the teacher temporarily since her excuse was not acceptable.
Contacted, Nizami said he would send the report to the CCC chief executive officer who will then forward it to the CCC mayor.
If the mayor approves the recommendation, the suspension will come into effect, he said adding that
the teacher would not be able to take classes during the suspension period, and would get half of her salary.
Meanwhile, Saleh Jangi, father of the victim student Jihad, alleged that the teacher seemingly had no remorse for her conduct.
When the CCC official visited the school yesterday, the teacher was arrogantly saying that she has links in the CCC, and highly placed relatives in different organisations to manage the situation, Jangi said.
The father of the class-V student also said Awami League city unit joint secretary advocate Ibrahim Hossain Babul called him over the
phone and asked him to meet in his office in the afternoon.
Jangi, who works at Chittagong Court Building, went to the office and found the accused teacher's brother barrister Harun waiting there.
“Babul requested me to solve the matter mutually through discussions with Harun,” he said.
“Later barrister Harun took me to the CCC by his car and asked me to give a written statement saying that I have no allegation against the teacher,” he said adding that he refused to do that.
Contacted, AL leader Babul said he requested Harun to take his sister to Jangi's home and apologise.
