A middle school in the north-central province of Quang Binh, where a teacher last month asked classmates of a student to take turns in slapping him a total of 230 times for “swearing” in class, has stirred further public anger by asking those concerned to detail the event in a questionnaire. A sixth grader at Duy Ninh Middle School in Quang Binh was hospitalized in late November after he was repeatedly slapped on the face by his classmates as a punishment from his teacher for allegedly using foul language in the classroom. The math teacher, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy, asked the whole class to give the student ten slaps each after he was accused of “swearing” by another classmate. In total, the boy suffered 230 slaps to his face, with the 231st coming from Thuy herself after he responded to the punishment by saying, “I hate you, teacher!” Thuy has been suspended from work pending her final punishment, while Quang Binh police officers have launched legal proceedings against the case … [Read more...] about Vietnam school in hot water for asking students to detail slapping of classmate

An investigation into the Ho Chi Minh City department of education has shown that the organization sent the wife of the departmental director to an overseas training program against regulations in 2018.

The accusers claimed to be a group of headmasters in Ho Chi Minh City, stating that the municipal Department of Education and Training had not been transparent in selecting people for a training course in Germany last year. The criteria for the selection were not clear, they explained. The inspectors eventually concluded that the denunciation was based on legitimate grounds, adding that the education department did commit “errors” in their process.
