A planned police confrontation between a parent and a teacher, who have accused each other of assault following a skirmish at the Winfer Gardens Primary School, was aborted yesterday.
Police, who are investigating claims by both parties, have since informed them that they will be contacted about when the confrontation will be conducted.
General Secretary of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) Coretta McDonald told Stabroek News that both parties were invited to the Alberttown Police Station yesterday morning for a confrontation. McDonald said that officials from the GTU and the Ministry of Education, including the Chief Education Officer (CEO) Marcel Hutson, showed up in support of the still traumatised teacher, Yolanda Jackson.
