Previously, according to the report of teacher Nguyen Dinh Dai, Principal of Phuc Tho Secondary School, in the 2016 school year, the school is on track to build a national standard school. Therefore, since the beginning of this school year, the school has continuously constructed, repaired, and installed equipment for teaching and learning. To ensure safety, the school has propagated and prohibited students from walking and playing in the multi-function area and construction, repair, and equipment installation areas to ensure the construction progress.

On March 18, at 3:10 p.m., the school was setting up and installing equipment in the practice room when some students chased each other and ran into the dangerous area (electricity - equipment). To ensure safety, the school principal chased and reminded the students, but some students still deliberately entered the restricted area.

Then, seeing another group of students continuing to violate the rules, the principal arrested Pham Huy Hoang - class 6C, "threatening to lock him up, but he ran away. I reached out to grab his shirt behind his back and slapped him twice."

After this incident, Hoang went home to tell his mother, then his mother took Hoang to meet the principal. Knowing that Hoang was a disabled student, the principal apologized to Hoang and her mother right at school and continued to apologize at her home that afternoon.

In a report to the Nghi Loc District Education Department, Principal Nguyen Dinh Dai wrote: “I realized my mistake in hastily taking action against the student and that my actions and behavior were not right, especially for a student with disabilities. The above incident is a lesson for me in student management and education. I truly regret my actions.”

According to the request of the Department of Education and Training: Nghi Loc District Education Department must report the handling results to the department before April 5.
