An elementary teacher in Leyte elicits various reactions online after he was caught punishing students with a broomstick.
The Facebook account Mic Hael shared the video footage of a teacher punishing at least seven students using a broomstick as a mean of discipline. The video quickly circulated online and elicited reactions from the internet users.
The video shows an elementary teacher, identified as Mr. Apino, allegedly punishing students by making them squat and subjecting them to physical blows using a broomstick.
The Department of Education Eastern Visayas immediately took action by summoning the school’s principal and the teacher involved in the incident. They have issued a strong condemnation of all forms of violence, exploitation, discrimination, bullying, and abuse that take place within the school environment.
A netizen named Marlon Cruz Da-a Conde shared a video clip of Mr. Apino, acknowledging his actions, and also offered an apology to the school principal, who had requested forgiveness on behalf of the school.
However, he expressed his reluctance to accept the principal’s apology, asserting that he was not at fault for the incident.
DepEd-Leyte Division released an official statement expressing their commitment to thoroughly investigate the matter. The agency conducted a validation of the facts and engaged in discussions with the school principal and the teacher.
The agency expressed its dedication to safeguarding the rights and protection of students, ensuring a safe, secure, and productive learning environment. They also began collaborating with legal authorities to address the issue.
