Investigation was launched against a kindergarten teacher who allegedly assaulted a child in Surkhandarya

Earlier, it was reported that a female teacher in Preschool Education Organization No. 16 in Denov District of Surkhandarya Region had been rude to a 5-year-old child. The teacher allegedly shouted at a crying child and struck them with an object in her hand to calm them down.

Currently, the district Internal Affairs Department is investigating the incident. The Children's Ombudsman reported this.

It has been alleged that during a lesson, educator A.G. struck M.I., a boy born in 2019, with a stick in an attempt to discipline him for perceived rudeness.

However, in a video circulating on social media, an employee can be seen yelling at a crying child while attempting to memorize a poem about independence, and allegedly striking the child with an object in her hand to calm them down. A woman's voice can also be heard saying to the children, "You are a donkey, will a child be like that?"

Recently, incidents of kindergarten teachers beating children have been reported in preschool educational institutions.

For instance, in Andijan in May of this year, a kindergarten nurse first beat two children and was later dismissed. In Preschool Education Institution No. 23 in Gurlan District of Khorezm Region, a kindergarten nurse was found to have beaten young children, leading to the termination of her employment contract. Additionally, an educator in Kindergarten No. 16 in Gallaorol District of Jizzakh Region was dismissed for calling children one by one and brutally hitting them on the face and body with slippers.
