Some two weeks after the reported corporal punishment of ten students at Queen’s College (QC), deliberations on the matter are still underway, according to Chairman of Queen’s College’s Board of Governors, Marcel Gaskin.
Gaskin informed Stabroek News yesterday that the board is considering all aspects of the incident, with a decision anticipated later this week. “We have to do what we have to do,” Gaskin responded when questioned about the length of the investigation.
The incident in question took place on May 16, when a senior teacher at the school allegedly flogged ten students for reasons that remain undisclosed. The event has sparked significant backlash and has drawn the attention of ChildlinK, a child protection NGO.
