Teacher accused of sexually assaulting nine school girls
…pulled from classroom as Education Ministry launches probe
(Kaieteur News) – The Ministry of Education has moved swiftly to remove a teacher from the classroom following serious allegations of a sexual nature made by students of a city secondary school.
In a statement issued Wednesday, the ministry confirmed that it was first informed of the allegations on Friday, March 13, and immediately placed the accused teacher on administrative leave the same day. The action, officials said, was taken in keeping with established procedures, as authorities began engaging parents and activating child protection mechanisms.
According to the ministry the Welfare Department of the Department of Education met with one parent on Friday, 13 March 2026, a second parent on Monday, 16 March 2026, and a third parent on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. Each parent was issued a referral letter to the Child Protection Agency, consistent with standard operating procedures. Each affected student is to undergo a forensic interview to be conducted by Blossom Inc, the release added. To date, one such interview has been completed. “The Ministry of Education wishes to state unequivocally that, contrary to certain misleading claims circulating on social media, there has been no delay in the investigative process,” the release stated.
Meanwhile, speaking to Kaieteur News a source disclosed that the victims reportedly discussed their interactions with the teacher which led to the matter being reported and the Education Ministry was called in. The source stated that nine schoolgirls are reportedly involved. This publication learned that the accused teacher is a Physical Education (PE) teacher and has been employed with the secondary school for some three years. Guyana recorded in excess of 300 sexual assault cases monthly last year, according to the Manager of Sexual Offenses and Domestic Violence Policy Unit of the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, Dr. Cona Husbands.
