The situation escalated when the parents of the students staged a protest on Sunday, July 28, upon learning that the students’ hair had been cut in a way they were forced to shave it.
The teacher claimed that the students had been previously warned not to grow their hair long.
Meanwhile the education department suspended the teacher and an enquiry is underway.
