Teacher fired for humiliating school-child in the classroom

An Armenian teacher has been fired from school over a controversial video footage posted on social network Youtube where he apparently humiliates a school-child.

In a statement released today Armenia's Ministry of Education and Science said that the teacher of the #8 Basic School after A. Pushkin in Yerevan has upon his written request been fired.

"Armenia's Ministry of Education and Science states one more time that the protection of a child's rights is one of the cornerstones of the work done in the sphere, and that any display of violence at school is unacceptable and blameworthy," said the Ministry.
