Months after numerous efforts to obtain updates on the Queen’s College flogging incident, the Ministry of Education yesterday said that the matter is now under legal review and was therefore sub judice.
It is unclear if this signifies that a charge has been brought against the teacher involved.
Despite multiple attempts to speak directly with the Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, Stabroek News has been unable to secure a comment. Yesterday, as Stabroek News attempted to approach her it was informed by the minister’s Public Relations Officer, Anara Khan, that the case is now under legal review, and that the minister would not be doing any interviews on it.
