Teachers will be out in seconds if they impose any inhumane treatment on children - Akbar

Minister for Education, Rosy Akbar says teachers will be out of the Ministry in seconds if they conduct or impose any inhumane treatment on children in schools.

While speaking at the Launch of the Pacific Kids Food Revolution and Children’s Day celebration at Nehru Primary School, Akbar says sexual harassment, rape and abuse of our children in schools and homes must stop.

She says for this, the implementation of our policies need to be strengthened.

Akbar says the Education Ministry will neither condone nor tolerate any child abuse in schools.

She says if a child comes to school indicating any form of abuse and violence, it is mandatory that teachers report these cases to police.
