A lecturer at the University of Nigeria Nsukka has allegedly taken an unpopular way to punish her students for not sweeping the lecture room by asking them to kneel down and raise up their hands.
A student of the university shared a photo of the students kneeling down to serve punishment and wrote:
“This happened earlier today in 3rd year class, department of Microbiology, University Of Nigeria Nsukka.
No matter how anyone would want to look at it, this is outright insanity, to say the least. How do you mete out this kind of punishment to university students for not sweeping their classroom when we’ve got non-academic staff who’re paid to get stuff like this done???
If people like this lecturer are not called to order, a time will come when they’d flog and physically abuse students and it will still be swept under the carpet. This is sheer humiliation and totally unacceptable.”
