Beating or breast for naughty pupils
A Zimbabwean schoolteacher has been suspended for allegedly giving pupils the choice of being caned or suckling her breasts. The woman faces a disciplinary hearing after one of the pupils reported the 'punishment' to his parents, reports the Herald.
The boy claimed he was asked to choose between suckling the teacher's breasts or receiving 100 strokes of the cane for being noisy.
According to the paper, the boy chose to suckle the teacher's breasts - as did 14 others.
The headmaster of the Harare school summoned the teacher to respond to the allegations. The teacher allegedly admitted forcing the children to suckle her breasts but could not give reasons why she had done so.
Harare provincial education director Tomax Doba confirmed the incident and said that his office had been furnished with a report from the school.
"We received a report from the school and the report says it happened," Doba said. "We have already advised them to make a police report and the teacher is likely to face child abuse charges."
