Methods used to 'teach' English in Indian white collar
schools!
- New Delhi, April 16,
2009
The eleven-year-old girl, who slipped into coma after
she was brutally beaten by her teacher, died today in a
state of coma.She was
battling for her life ever since she slipped into a state
of coma yesterday.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Government and the Centre have
promised strict action against those involved in an
incident that led to a eleven-year-old girl battling for
her life while in coma.
Union Minister for Women and Child Welfare Renuka
Chowdhury has promised justice will be done.
An inquiry has been ordered by the Municipal Council
of Delhi (MCD) into how Shannoo Khan, a student of Class
2 at ND Primary School in Narela, North Delhi, fell into
coma.
An inquiry has been ordered and the principal and
teacher placed under suspension.
The incident allegedly occurred when Shannoo failed to
recite the English alphabet in class. Angered by this,
the teacher allegedly hit Shannoo's head against the
table and made her stand in the sun for over two hours.
Unable to stand the heat, Shannoo fainted and was found
unconscious by her younger sister, who studies in the
same school.
The girl then informed their mother, Rihanna, who
rushed Shannoo to Maharshi Valmiki Hospital. Shannoo's
father, Ayub Khan, who works as a waiter in a catering
company, was away in Haryana for work.
"Doctors at Maharshi Valmiki hospital told me
that Shannoo''s condition was critical and she might not
survive," said Khan.
The 11-year-old has been shifted to the pediatric ICU
of Lok Nayak Hospital yesterday afternoon.
She was brought to our hospital in a critical
condition. We have examined the child and her blood
pressure is very low due to which she remains in a state
of shock. Her pulse is very weak too. She is on a
ventilator and we can comment on her condition only
tomorrow," said Dr A P Dubey, head of the
department, pediatrics, Lok Nayak Hospital.
"The child was admitted in with severe seizure
and her condition further deteriorated before she slipped
into a coma. She was shifted to LNJP in critical
condition," said Dr KK Deuri, medical superintendent
of Maharshi Valmiki hospital. MCD officials, however,
denied that the girl was punished and said she suffered
from frequent seizures.
Chairman of the MCD Education Committee Prithiviraj
Sahni said, "The girl has been detained for shortage
of attendance. She has been irregular with her classes
because of fits. On Wednesday too, she had fits,
following which her parents were informed."
Municipal commissioner K S Mehra has asked the
director of primary education to conduct an inquiry and
submit a report in three days. MCD has already suspended
the principal of the school (identified only as Dhanpati)
for dereliction of duty and the teacher (identified only
as Manju) for alleged corporal punishment.
Police said they had confirmed that the child was
punished at school. Atul Katiyar, DCP, (outer), said:
"We have confirmed from various sources that the
child did face corporal punishment and investigations are
on. We will file an FIR only after we receive the medical
reports."
