Abusive students of Huda school suspended for a year

Riyadh: The Ministry of Education has penalized the students who abused their teacher in a Riyadh school with a year’s suspension and cancellation of their grades for the year.

The students brought their parents with them to the school, apologized to the teacher and kissed him on the head as a token of respect but the ministry is not ready to forgive them.

The ministry described the students’ action as completely unacceptable and said it contained lack of respect which is pivotal in the educational process

The ministry asked the department of education in Riyadh to closely watch schools, its teachers and students during the next academic year and to immediately report any misdemeanors.

The students have publicly apologized to the teacher and posted their apology on the social media. They said they regretted their bad behavior but the ministry decided to still punish them.
