Srinagar, April 14 (KNS) : Coaching Centres Association of Kashmir (CCAK) has expressed its disappointment over the incident in which a teacher is seen beating a student.

The Association said in a statement issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS) that it is unfortunate that such an incident has happened. The Association said that it has constituted a committee to look into the matter and recommend measures so that such incidents do not happen in future.

The Association however cautioned people especially social media users not to get swayed with the video without full knowledge. “We condemn the incident but people should not read into it too much. Unfortunately a witch hunt has been launched by people against the teacher and the coaching institute, both of whom are known for their reputation,” said a spokesperson of the Association. “We all know how the pandemic has affected the students and education sector. So we should be guarded with our views. Teachers are second parents of a student and no teacher would do anything against the interest of a student.”

The Association said that it will soon come out with guidelines to prevent such incidents.(KNS)
