In a shocking incident, two teachers have been suspended by the Karnataka Education Department for sexually harassing girl students at a government school in Shivamogga district. The suspended teachers have been identified as headmaster Nagaraj Kori and assistant teacher Shanthakumar.

The incident came to light when a complaint was filed against assistant teacher Shanthakumar, accusing him of sexually harassing students.

The education department should ensure that teachers are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to handle such situations promptly and effectively.

The safety and well-being of students should always remain a top priority for educational institutions. It is crucial to establish a robust system of reporting and addressing complaints, ensuring that students feel comfortable speaking up against any form of misconduct.

The Karnataka Education Department’s swift action in suspending the teachers involved demonstrates their commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment. It is hoped that this incident will serve as a wake-up call for all educational institutions to prioritize the safety and protection of their students.
