Two teachers to clean staff toilets for fighting inside school Two teachers at Ibru College, Agbarha-Otor in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Mr. Agofure R. and Mr. Etuh G., have been asked to clean the staff toilets for one month.
The punishment came after they were found guilty of fighting within the school premises.
Apart from that, they have been suspended by the state government.
Additionally, both educators have been advocated for transfer to other public schools, a move aimed at maintaining discipline at the secondary school.
Beyond the school’s sanctions, the duo has been directed to say to the Ughelli Zonal Office of the Delta State Post-Primary Education Board for further interrogation regarding the incident.
However, pending a final decision by the board, the teachers have been suspended from duty.
The school’s disciplinary committee, in its disclose, rebuked the fight as the violation of professional ethics and imposed the series of penalties on them.
It would be recalled that the fight between the teachers drew strong criticism from parents and educators alike.
Also, one of the teachers, Mr. Etuh G., has been ordered to vacate his official quarters within the school compound within a month.
Confirming the decision, the school’s Principal, Mr. Akporube L.O., stressed that Ibru College maintains a zero-tolerance policy for misconduct among staff.
He reiterated the importance of discipline and professionalism in the teaching profession, declaring that the institution will not condone any behavior that undermines ethical standards.
Reacting to the incident, the Senior Lecturer at Southern Delta University, Dr. Precious Omoruwou, criticised the action of the teachers, attributing it to a faulty recruitment process in engaging educators.
She summoned for continuous training and retraining of educators, pointing out that they are supposed to be molders and role models to those they teach.
She added that educators must not be allowed to behave in an uncivil manner but should justify very high standards of discipline, as their actions and inactions have a direct impact on shaping society in its entirety.
