The Sharjah Education Zone is investigating a case where a grade six Arab student was threatened by the school gardener, saying he would kill the boy using a garden tool. The gardener belonged to a private school in Sharjah.
Once home, the boy informed his father that he would not go to school anymore because the gardener had harassed him and threatened to kill him with the tool. The father said the son developed fever as he was scared and was crying.
The father lodged a complaint at the education zone which has in turn formed a committee to investigate the case. Officials from the school management told Khaleej Times that they have lodged a complaint against the gardener. The management has also asked the gardening company, with which the school has a contract, to replace the man and to forbid him from entering the school anymore.
Officials from the Sharjah Education Zone said the committee has heard all sides of the case and has referred the investigation report to the private school department at the Ministry of Interior to decide on the action.
