Dubai: An expatriate instructor of Arab nationality has been sentenced to one year and deported after serving a sentence for falsifying students’ attendance and evaluation records, Bahraini media reported.
According to court records, the public instructor falsified the attendance and evaluation reports of the 2018 fellows.
All when the school had suspicions about a signature on one of the reports submitted through the instructor. The school management discovered that the report had two signatures, one belonging to the instructor and the other to the head of his branch.
But when the school investigated the matter, they discovered that the branch director had not signed the report. “I asked him to make some changes when he brought me those reports. However, they were sent to the school address in a forged edition of my signature,” according to the head of the branch.
Following the incident, the Ministry of Education set up a commission to investigate the case, which proved the teacher’s crime, and filed a complaint with the police.
Police are also investigating an anomaly in the evaluation files of the teacher’s students. The report states that assessment of paper-based students is different from online assessment.
The instructor also discovered guilt for manipulating his students’ attendance reports. The investigation showed that it had marked the provision even for pupils who were absent. Prosecutors charged him with forgery and misconduct and sentenced him to one year in prison plus deportation.
