Parents seek apology from school for corporal punishment

SHILLONG: The parents of a student studying in class II in Shillong Public School have sought apology within three days from the Principal and two teachers, who had resorted to corporal punishment recently.
They also petitioned the commissioner and secretary education on Monday seeking his intervention.
Though the student was at the receiving end of the atrocities committed by his class mates, he was targeted by the Principal and two teachers who beat him up with sticks on three occasions, according to the parents.
The parents said that they will resort to legal steps of the Principal and teachers do not apologize within the deadline.
They also asked the government to direct the school to install CCTV cameras in class rooms.
