An Egyptian court sentenced a primary school teacher in Qena Governorate to three years in prison and ordered her to pay a 2 million Egyptian pound fine. The conviction stems from the teacher’s assault on a first-grade student, resulting in the permanent loss of the child’s right eye. The incident occurred last November and came to light after the school contacted the boy's father. Lawyer Hisham Sebaei, representing the child’s family, confirmed the sentencing and the compensation amount. The court found the teacher guilty of causing a permanent disability to the student through physical violence. This case highlights growing concerns about school violence and the legal repercussions for educators who abuse their positions of power. The ruling aims to provide some measure of justice for the victim and deter similar incidents in the future.
