Ministry Responds to Allegations of Extramarital Affair Involving School Leader
The Ministry of Education (MOE) has reaffirmed the expectation for school leaders to uphold high standards of personal conduct following recent allegations involving a vice-principal of a primary school. The allegations, which surfaced on October 17, 2024, suggest that the vice-principal had an extramarital affair with the parent of a student. Reports, including photos and text message screenshots, spread quickly online, although the original post was removed by October 18.
In response to the incident, MOE confirmed that it is investigating the matter and that the vice-principal has resigned, now on leave. The Ministry emphasized that the school would continue to support staff and students, actively monitoring their well-being during this time.
The ongoing situation has sparked widespread discussions online, highlighting the challenges school leaders face in maintaining personal conduct that aligns with the integrity expected of public service roles.
