Serious Allegations of Abusive Behavior by Teacher – Case Referred to Education Ministry

Serious allegations have emerged regarding offensive and demeaning behavior by a high school teacher towards students, brought to light by the Independent Authority Against Corruption. The teacher is alleged to have made comments that offend the students' personalities, regarding their personal hygiene, clothing, and other personal data. Particular weight is given to the fact that the victims belong to vulnerable social groups. The Authority found the issues to be serious, but the case does not fall within its jurisdiction as it is not related to corruption. However, the case has been referred to the Ministry of Education and the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of the Child for further investigation, due to the potential violation of teachers' duties and the erosion of public trust in the education service.
