One of the abominable things in a school environment is having a pupil or student physically attack his or her teacher.
It does not matter whether it is a full time teacher, part time or a corps member.
But that is what a Senior Secondary School II pupil of Anglican Commercial Secondary School, Orita-Mefa, Ibadan, did on Tuesday, February 14: he slapped a corps member.
This has angered the Seyi Makinde government of the state.
It has, as a result suspended the boy for a month.
The State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Rahman Abdu-Raheem, ordered the immediate suspension of the student during a visit to the the school on Tuesday, February 15.
The commissioner also said the student on return would apologise to the corps member and sign an undertaking.
Addressing the students, Abdu-Raheem charged them to be of good behaviour, reiterating that the state government would not condone any act of indiscipline.
He warned that any student caught acting in uncivilized manners, henceforth, would be dismissed from schools in Oyo State.
Abdu-Raheem also charged teachers to be more dedicated and punctual at work.
