A Bartica teacher at the centre of a controversy where he could be seen in a video assaulting a student over the type of socks worn has been sent on administrative leave.
This was confirmed by Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, when contacted yesterday by Stabroek News.
It was just a few days ago, that a video filmed by someone in a Bartica Secondary School classroom showed a confrontation between the teacher and a male student.
