The Gauteng education department has confirmed that a teacher at Alberton’s Glenbrack High School is on precautionary suspension for allegedly hitting learners.

The woman faces a possible disciplinary hearing.

The department has encouraged pupils subjected to corporal punishment to report the matter to the school principal and their parents.

Meanwhile, the 14-year-old boy who allegedly stabbed a PJ Simelane High School teacher in Soweto has been released into the care of his parents.

A court appearance date still has to be set. It is alleged that the boy had been loitering when the teacher confronted him.

He is said to have stabbed the woman in the stomach.

She has been discharged from hospital.
