A parent allegedly assaulted the head teacher of Farmpara Government Primary School in Chuadanga town on Wednesday afternoon. According to school sources, Samsur Rahman Shuvo entered the school around 12:20 p.m., behaved rudely, and then slapped head teacher Kaberi Karim inside her office. Other teachers intervened and removed him from the room. The incident followed a disciplinary action earlier that day when the teacher lightly slapped Shuvo’s daughter, a third-grade student, for talking during assembly. The assault video later spread on social media, prompting widespread anger and concern among teachers.

Kaberi Karim said she disciplined the student gently and never expected a parent to physically attack her. She expressed fear for her safety and hesitation to return to school. The Chuadanga District Primary Teachers’ Association condemned the incident, calling it a threat to teachers’ dignity and security. Police confirmed awareness of the case and stated that legal action would follow upon receiving a written complaint from the school.

The incident has raised concerns about teacher safety and the need for stronger measures to prevent violence in educational institutions.
