The Hon. Mujibur Rahman
Hon. Mujibur Rahman raised concerns over the handling of a child’s case involving alleged misconduct by a teacher, subsequent police action, and the school principal’s pressure on the parents to remove the child without a proper inquiry. He said the child later suffered public humiliation at a tuition class, contributing to severe psychological trauma, and questioned reports that police had provided protection to the tuition teacher despite serious allegations. He requested a joint investigation by the Ministry of Education and the Police to restore public confidence.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I wish to contribute because the child lived close to my area. The parents took the child to the JMO; the hospital informed Kotahena Police, who in turn informed Bambalapitiya Police. The alleged teacher was remanded for three days and then bailed. The principal pressured the parents to remove the child from the school without properly investigating. The child later faced public humiliation at a village tuition class, leading to severe psychological trauma and the tragic decision. Reportedly, the police provided protection to the tuition teacher yesterday, although serious allegations exist. I request a joint investigation by the Education Ministry and Police to restore confidence.
