The National Child Protection Authority (NCPA) has initiated legal action against a tuition teacher accused of assaulting students.
According to the NCPA, the tuition teacher had failed to comply with a summons issued related to a video widely circulated on social media about the incident.
The video shows the tuition teacher using corporal punishment on his students, as well as instructing a female student to hit a male student with a cane.
When inquired in this regard from Cabinet Spokesman Minister Nalinda Jayatissa, he said the National Child Protection Authority has initiated action against the tuition teacher. (Newswire)
