The class two student of Vatuwaqa Primary School told FBC News she was allegedly beaten for not paying attention when the head teacher was making an announcement .
When approached by FBC News at Vatuwaqa Primary, the Head Teacher refused to entertain our questions only saying there was no assault and that Seini just had a nose bleed.
A complaint has been lodged with both the police and the Education Ministry.
Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro confirms there’s a complaint accompanied by a medical report.
Seini in the meantime refuses to go back to school, saying she’s afraid.
