SHARJAH : The services of an Arab man teaching Islamic studies at a school in Sharjah have been terminated by the Ministry of Education following complaints of alleged sexual harassment of students.
The teacher, N.M., working with the all-boys Abdullah Al Salim School in Sharjah, allegedly tried to molest a student last year after which a complaint was lodged at the Sharjah Education Zone.
Investigations revealed that other students too had been sexually harassed by the teacher.
The Ministry of Education has ordered a five per cent deduction from N.M.'s end-of-service settlement and has rejected his plea for a resignation instead of a termination.
The termination is the third carried out by the ministry in the last two weeks. The first was that of a teacher at the same school for allegedly beating a student. The second was another teacher at the Fujairah Educational School for a fraud during examinations.
