Transferred to another school, female teacher committed suicide by taking sleeping pills

Ms. Th.'s neighbors found her lying unconscious in the house, her limbs limp, with a suicide note beside her.

According to initial information, at around 1:30 p.m. on September 8, Ms. Tr.Th.K went to her daughter's house, Ms. Tr.Th. Th (in Cai Tat, An Dong commune, An Duong district, Hai Phong) to visit and received the bad news. Ms. Th's neighbors discovered her lying unconscious in the house, her limbs limp, next to her was a suicide note written to her children and relatives.

Looking around, knowing that Ms. Th. had taken sleeping pills to commit suicide, the neighbor immediately called the family, then together with the people took the victim to the emergency room.

Teacher Th is being treated at Viet Tiep hospital.

Speaking to the press, a doctor at Viet Tiep Hospital said that after receiving the emergency patient, the hospital performed gastric lavage, administered IV fluids, etc. By the evening of the same day, the patient was out of danger.

According to the victim's family, it is very likely that Ms. Th. took sleeping pills to commit suicide due to work. Last school year, Ms. Th. and 4 other teachers were working at An Dong Secondary School (An Duong) when they were suddenly transferred to teach at Quoc Tuan Secondary School (in the same An Duong district), nearly 10km from her home.

The victim's sister said that in recent days, Ms. Th. has shown signs of dissatisfaction about being transferred to another school without a clear reason. Accordingly, Ms. Th. is one of four teachers who were transferred to another school without any reason. Although she and other teachers have submitted a complaint to the An Duong district authorities, the An Duong district leaders and the district's Department of Education have not responded, but have only encouraged her and promised to transfer her back to her old school after a few months.

After waiting for a year without seeing the leaders fulfill their promise, she went to the Department of Education and was instructed to fill out an application to return to her old school to teach. However, after several applications, she still had not been transferred to the new school year.
