"Teachers who are not psychologically ready have higher chances to use violence and abuse students. According to Opec, there have been recent complaints about bullying and inappropriate punishments at 34 Sara­sas schools. The mother said schools nationwide need to better screen their teaching staff, and all school classrooms should be fitted with CCTV cameras to protect children from abuse.
