Reports about a school employee using physical violence against a child have sparked heated discussions on social media. Many users called this act completely unacceptable and damaging to the reputation of the education sector.
Local activists and child rights organizations stress that such incidents must be completely eliminated from the school environment. They believe that in any educational process, dialogue and psychological approach — not violence — should be the main principles.
There are reports that a service investigation has been launched against the school secretary and that she has been temporarily suspended from her position. However, no official confirmation has been released yet.
The public demands that this case be kept under strict control. The leadership of the Samarkand regional education system has pledged to conduct a transparent investigation and take legal measures against those responsible.
Experts emphasize that ensuring children’s safety in educational institutions is one of the state and society’s highest priorities. The school environment must be a place of trust, care, and respect for every child.
