Serious Complaint Against Teacher for Allegedly Insulting Vulnerable Students

The Independent Authority Against Corruption has announced that it has received a serious complaint against a high school teacher, who is accused of making offensive comments to vulnerable students regarding their personal hygiene, clothing and personal issues. The Authority found violations of legislation, but the complaint does not fall within its jurisdiction. Therefore, the file has been forwarded to the Director-General of the Ministry of Education and the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of the Child. The complaint states that the teacher made demeaning comments in front of the students, insulting their dignity and creating a negative climate in the classroom. The students who suffered the insults belong to vulnerable social groups and face personal or social difficulties.
