Ms Narumon said that even though the matter falls under the school’s authority as a private institution, she had ordered Opec to closely monitor the case, and it has already assigned the provincial education office to work with the school.

The student was suspended after the assault. He subsequently dropped out of the school.

The teacher gave a statement to Nong Chang police.
