Pupil-stomping teacher fined Gh¢1,200

The Wassa Akropong Magistrate Court has fined the teacher who was caught on camera trudging on two pupils over their inability to do their assignment Gh¢1200.

Christiana Owusu was arrested Wednesday after she was seen on a leaked video stomping on the pupils who failed to do their homework or read properly.

In the video, the helpless pupils were lying prostrate while class was in session as the teacher merrily jump on their backs to punish them.

The helpless Class Four pupils reeled in pains as madam Owusu crushed them with her feet on the hips and torso with glee.

A child rights activist Bright Appiah of Child’s Rights International has condemned the act and called on the parents to “be bold enough to sue the teacher and the school… the police and the Attorney General’s office should be interested in this matter.”
