Investigation pauses staff suspensions at city school

In Thiruvananthapuram, the general education department has paused its decision to transfer a principal and head teacher and suspend three teachers. This action was originally taken after a complaint claimed that a 14-year-old student faced physical and mental abuse from the staff. The school's administration argued that the steps taken were based on a report that did not consider their side of the story. Following this, the school manager filed a complaint with the education minister, raising concerns about the fairness of the suspensions. A new inquiry commission has been set up to investigate the matter, supervised by the director of general education. The education department has instructed that no further action be taken until this investigation is complete. The school management expressed the need to identify the motives behind ongoing allegations against the school and its teachers that have been shared on social media.
