(Kaieteur News) – Two trained teachers from the David Rose Special Education Needs School have been dismissed following an investigation into the mistreatment of a student, which was captured in a widely circulated video. Sources within the education system confirmed with Kaieteur News that the teachers were terminated on June 23, 2026.

When Kaieteur News visited the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) to verify the dismissals and ascertain when an official report would be published, the efforts proved futile. This newspaper was informed that the TSC Secretary was in a meeting and unable to comment.

However, Minister of Education, Sonia Parag on Wednesday addressed reporters regarding the matter, noting that the Ministry has already submitted its findings. “Because it has gone to the TSC, we have put through our recommendations, based on our own inquiry that we have held,” Minister Parag said.
