Student Attacks Teacher in Larnaca Gymnasium

A serious incident of violence occurred at a Gymnasium in Larnaca, Cyprus, where a 13-year-old student assaulted his teacher in the abdominal area following a verbal dispute. The teacher visited the hospital for examinations but did not require hospitalization and subsequently filed a complaint with the Police. The case is being investigated by the Police and other relevant authorities due to the involvement of a minor, with the Ministry of Education and the Welfare Office being informed. The Organized Parents strongly condemn the incident, emphasizing the unacceptability of violence in any form and highlighting that verbal protest would have been the appropriate course of action instead of physical assault. This incident follows a similar case of violence between female students in Paphos, raising concerns about the increase of violence in schools.
