Teacher punched to face by official at school sports

A teacher attached to Skeldon High School was on Friday hit to the face by a senior official on the Upper Corentyne during school sports and had to seek medical attention.

The incident occurred at the Skeldon Community Centre when a young teacher, Arfaz Hoosein, queried about a decision taken by officials at the end of one of the races that the children were running.
Hoosein, who reportedly was not in favour of the decision, approached a senior official with his query but was grabbed by his shirt collar. The move was deemed by some as an attempt to silence the teacher. The teacher was then reportedly punched to the face by the official, causing him to sustain injuries.
But as persons sought an intervention from the Police on the ground, the cop said that the decision by the official to end the race was correct and there is nothing he could have done.
“Both ah yall gon get charge if yuh go to the station,” the policeman said to the men on the field.
Hoosein has since filed an official Police report. (G4)
