Schoolboy Dies After Severe Beating By Teacher For Failing To Do Homework
A 12-year-old Cairo schoolboy died on Sunday after being severely beaten by his teacher, Egypt’s education ministry has said. Local reports, which named the boy as Islam Sharif, said he was beaten for not doing his homework.
An “urgent inquiry” had been launched into the circumstances of the boy’s death and the teacher had been suspended by the school.
He had head injuries and suffered a brain haemorrhage, forensics department chief, Hisham Abdel Hamid, told the AFP news agency.
The teacher said he had “no intention to kill him but the beating was part of discipline,” state-run newspaper Al-Ahram Al-Masa’i reported.
In December last year, Egypt’s National Council for Childhood and Motherhood said attacks on children had increased by 55% between January and October compared with the average over the previous three years.
It said 50% of cases of violence against children were registered in schools.
In September, the director of a Cairo orphanage was sentenced to three years in jail for assaulting minors.

She most have hit him so hard. So sad.
Discipline my foot..you should be beatn to death as well.
Really? Just because he didn’t do home work? what sort of punishment can you give a 12 year old that will make him have brain damage, this is so evil and i can’t imagine bringing up a child for 12 years only to loose him to a stupid teacher because of stupid homework. The fool should be crucified.
Is it by force to do homework? Abi which way? She deserves to be jailed.
Ewo water don pass garri
this is the reason why I will never lay my hands on another person’s child.
Violence everywhere. I wonder what is wrong with this present generation. She deserves death by stoning, honestly.
What nonsense assignment! May God have mercy on her soul
Why didn’t he just spank him in his bum or hands instead of head? This is why in my school, no spanking by seniors or teachers. It is not allowed. You are only allowed to give the student punishment like to sweep class, staff room etc
I’m just wondering the kind of discipline he gave the child that resulted in death
Suspention is not enough,he should be made to face d law
Nonsense!The teacher must be beaten to death as well
Too bad

No self control most ‘teachers’ arent qualified to TEACH,especially when they arent the patieny type.
Because of homework? Hhhmmm things that happen in this world. Poor innocent child
How on earth is a teacher allowed to beat pupils?
For dis type of case,I suggest d culprit b beaten to death also.
Am always against teachers beating pupils
What useless assignmwnt could warrant such beating
This one no discipline o the teacher is an assassin
So children are no longer safe in school?Smh
