Earlier on the evening of September 30, a clip appeared on social media showing a male student teasingly hugging, stroking the hair, and touching the cheek of a girl believed to be a teacher at the teacher's desk. Many students in the class witnessed it, and some students recorded the scene.

According to spread information, the incident is said to have occurred at a high school in Long Bien district.

What does the school report?

On the afternoon of October 2, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training said it had received a report from Thach Ban High School (Long Bien District).

According to the report, the male student in the clip is TNMĐ., a student of class 10A4, and the female teacher in the clip is Ms. MQT (born in 2001), a contract literature teacher at the school.

The incident happened on September 27, around 9am, while students were on break in class 10A4.

According to the school, as soon as they learned of the incident, on the evening of September 30, the school's board of directors quickly discussed with the Long Bien District Police and contacted the teacher in the clip to confirm the information.

The school has temporarily suspended the teacher and assigned a substitute teacher while the incident is resolved.

Teacher said "lack of pedagogical skills"

On the morning of October 1, the board of directors of Thach Ban High School held a meeting to listen to the opinions of students of class 10A4, working with the teacher and representatives of the families of the students in the clip and the families of the students who filmed the clip.

At the same time, listen to the opinion of the homeroom teacher of class 10A4 commenting on the psychological characteristics and personalities of the students in the class, including the two students involved.

After the meeting, the information was clarified as follows:

Student TNMĐ. was an acquaintance of the teacher. This student admitted that he had joked excessively with the teacher and did not realize that his behavior was inappropriate at that time.

KTM (the student who filmed the clip) also realized that his behavior was wrong, because at that time he only thought he was filming the clip to tease his friend.

At the meeting, the parents of the two students involved were aware of their children's inappropriate behavior and completely agreed with the school's handling of the matter. At the same time, they pledged to be more attentive in managing and educating their children, and hoped that the school would create conditions for their children to continue studying and practicing at school with peace of mind.

Teacher MQT wrote a report and a self-criticism, strictly admitting her shortcomings in allowing the incident to happen.

According to the school, at the moment the student was teasing, Ms. MQT reminded her and asked her to stop the behavior. However, Ms. MQT admitted that she lacked knowledge and skills in pedagogy, which is why the incident happened.
