A parent who confronted teachers at Maper East Primary in Aweil, Northern Bahar El Ghazel state, on July 19 has tendered an apology.<\/p>\n
Mawien Kon Gau is a father whose child was reportedly being disciplined by teachers, which caused convulsions and forced the man to storm the school.<\/p>\n
After being sued by state education authorities, Mr. Kon seemed to have learned the hard way how to react to situations, prompting him to tender an apology through the police.<\/p>\n
Kon said on Thursday that he was sorry for being short-tempered as he caused problems and damages during the brawl.<\/p>\n
“I want to tell the teachers at Maper East and the entire education Ministry that I was badly moved and misinformed,” he said.<\/p>\n
The parent conceded his fault and sought for forgiveness.<\/p>\n
“As there were victims that sustained bruises and fractures, it was a big mistake, as teachers are the agents of Change in society. Kindly accept my apology,” Kon pleaded.<\/p>\n
The accused parent said that he sat down with his relatives and got himself blamed so much.<\/p>\n
“I got a lot of advice from my close associates, and my happiness also goes to the woman who picked up my phone and gave it back to me,” he explained.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kon also regretted damaging a motorcycle that belonged to somebody that he used to rushing to the school.<\/p>\n
“Also, my bike was damaged by the pupils, and that motorbike belongs to someone. I repaired that I gave it to the owner as I took it in an urgent manner,” he added.<\/p>\n
However, the education director, Philip Kiir Garang, said they learned about the apology that Mr. Kon delivered but are not convinced yet.<\/p>\n
“People are still in hospitals, and damages that occurred in school are not yet repaired. All these require compensation,” Kiir stated.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen how an apology will be responded to by state education officials.<\/p>\n
