Teacher temporarily removed over alleged mistreatment of student who collapsed in class in Keralam

A teacher at St. Joseph’s UP School, Kunnoth, has been temporarily removed from duty by the management following allegations of inhuman treatment of a sixth-grade student who collapsed in the classroom after feeling dizzy.

The Thalassery Diocese Corporate Educational Agency, which manages the school, has ordered the temporary removal of Sister Linto Joseph and appointed a special committee to investigate the incident. According to a complaint submitted by the student’s parents, the teacher allegedly asked the child, who was lying unconscious on the classroom floor, whether she had “died” and allegedly kicked her. The child reportedly suffers from fluctuations in blood sodium levels and regularly takes medication. Relatives said the school authorities were aware of her condition.
