A teacher  from Kemabolo High School in Rigo District, Central Province has intoxicated a female student with chili as a form of punishment. According to her mother, her daughter collapsed at home after school and was rushed from the village to Kwikila Health centre then to Port Moresby General Hospital. Her parents are concerned that she will miss out on her exams as she is still struggling to recover. 

The parents are calling on the Department of Education to come clear on corporal punishments to students in schools around the country.

The mother posted on social media that " As far as I'm concerned this particular teacher has been doing this regularly to many students in the past. However in this case my child has fallen victim. Can the [education] secretary please investigate the entire school for keeping an blind eye to this situation and terminate this rogue teacher".

The parents will seek legal advice after obtaining full medical report from the hospital..
