A video recently gone viral on social media, showing a kindergarten teacher assaulting a student verbally.
The Minister of Education, Omar al-Razzaz, warned the teacher publicly after receiving the video.

هذه ليست تربية ولا تعليم. وليس هكذا نبني الأجيال. نكون شاكرين لتزويدنا بإسم المدرسة وسوف نتخذ الإجراءات المناسبة
