Chennai: A Government higher secondary school teacher in Iyyangarkulam in Kancheepuram district was beaten up ruthlessly by a class 10 student on Wednesday evening.

Hena Jean, the English teacher of the school, was slapped and kicked by a 15-year-old boy inside the classroom.

Student sources said, at around 3:30 pm on Wednesday when the English teacher was teaching a class 10 class, a 15-year-old boy allegedly went outside the classroom. The teacher caught the boy and made him sit in his place and did not allow him outside. Irked by this the boy twisted the teacher’s hand and pushed her down.

Hena said, “Even after pushing me down he did not stop, he continued kicking me.” After a few minutes, other teachers took Hena to the Kancheepuram government hospital for treatment. On information, Kancheepuram district chief educational officer, Angelo Irudhaiyaswamy rushed to the spot and held talk with the teachers. He said the discipline committee of the school will probe the issue and also ordered to submit a report on Saturday.

However, the teachers said despite filing several petitions to the chief educational officer and district educational officer, no actions were taken on roguish students. The headmaster of the school also has to be transferred, as he never responds to the complaint given against such students.

It may be noted that on November 8, the Iyyangarkulam villagers had filed a petition stating the dismissal of 22 students from this government school as they were involved in mischievous activities like damaging schools property, bursting crackers inside the school premises and ragging the junior students. Earlier in August, the students of this school were held for possessing ganja.
