ECDA finds evidence after anonymous report of child mismanagement by teacher is made

- Syarafana Shafeeq

A pre-school where a man was previously charged with outrage of modesty has now fired a teacher in a separate incident involving the rough-handling of children.

On Sept 8, an anonymous report of child mismanagement by a teacher was made to the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA). In the course of investigations, ECDA found evidence on Sept 13 and informed the pre-school to remove the teacher from care and teaching duties, the agency told The Straits Times.

The pre-school terminated her employment on Sept 20, and ECDA said the woman will not be allowed to work at other pre-schools.

A letter to parents from the pre-school's principal seen by ST said the incident involved the play-group class, which is for children aged 18 months to two years.

A police report has been lodged, and investigations are ongoing.

The centre was previously involved in a case of outrage of modesty in 2023, and cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the victim's identity.
