A video entitled “In Fergana, a school principal hit a student during class” has circulated on social networks. The press service of the Children’s Ombudsman responded to this situation.

It turned out that the incident occurred on May 17 at a school specializing in foreign languages in the Buvayda district.

During an algebra lesson, 7th grade student N.M. quarreled with her classmate Kh.

The school principal asked the girl why she had quarreled with a classmate and why she came to school in religious clothing with a bandana on her head. She demanded to take it off, but the schoolgirl refused. In response, the director hit the girl, causing her bodily harm.

Currently, officers of the Buvayda district DIA are conducting a pre-investigation check on this fact.

More information will be provided later.
