The 11-year-old pupil was admitted to hospital after the order of Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy, a teacher at Duy Ninh Secondary School, was carried out. The Ministry of Education and Training said this was a violation of the code of ethics for teachers and badly affected the local education sector.

Hoang’s family said they didn’t want to let him stay in Thuy’s class anymore. Thuy is the school’s Maths and Technology teacher. She used to work at Hai Ninh Secondary School and has just been transferred to Duy Ninh Secondary School a few months ago. She has been suspended for 15 days for investigation.
Thuy admitted that she was wrong. According to Thuy, she was too angry and was under pressure since her class is always ranked in the bottom.
However, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Thi Nghia said that no matter the reason, it was unacceptable to order pupils to attack a classmate and Thuy must be strictly punished.
