Parents filed a complaint with the police about an aggressive primary school teacher

Parents of students at one of Nicosia’s primary schools contacted the police, demanding action against a teacher whose behavior, according to the children, goes beyond acceptable limits. The reason was numerous complaints from pupils who reported psychological pressure and physical impact from the teacher.

The children claim that the teacher regularly uses humiliating expressions and intimidates students.
