HÀ NỘI — Two teachers of Sen Vàng Kindergarten in Hà Nội’s Hai Bà Trưng District were dismissed on Sunday after a video clip recording their abuse against kids went viral on the Internet.

Vũ Thị Tân, head of a branch of the kindergarten based in Minh Khai Ward, said the two teachers – Đặng Thị Bình, 23, and Nguyễn Thị Hồng Ngát, 22  started working at the kindergarten last September.

In the footage they are seeing using slippers and kicking those children who may have cried too much, urinated or passed stool in class.

The two teachers admitted in their reports to the school managers that they were unable to control their temper, which resulted in this display of abusive behaviour early last month.

Tân said the actions of the two teachers were recorded and posted online by a former teacher, who quit her job two months ago.

Trần Lưu Hoa, head of Hai Bà Trưng District’s Education and Training Department, said as soon as the department was informed about the child abuse clip, it contacted the concerned parties, including the kindergarten managers, Minh Khai Ward People’s Committee and the police. — VNS
