Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>An Eastern Cape teacher faces disciplinary action after she vomited and allegedly forced pupils to clean up her mess at Nyibiba Primary School earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The head of the provincial education department, Mahlubandile Qwase, has instructed the department to put the teacher on precautionary suspension, pending an investigation.<\/p>\n

She is accused of “despicable” misconduct and of endangering pupils’ health. The incident occurred on 21 February.<\/p>\n

Psycho-social support services will be offered to affected pupils.<\/p>\n

“These allegations are shaming the sector, which is supposed to set high moral standards for learners to follow. As ‘in-loco parentis’, educators are expected to teach learners the best ways to behave. As such, I find it very difficult to believe that a normal human being, who is a parent and an educator, can do such to young children,” Qwase said.<\/p>\n

He added that the department would “rope in employee wellness” to look into the teacher’s fitness for the job.<\/p>\n
