On the afternoon of April 16, according to the leader of Ben Cat Ward People's Committee, there are initial medical examination results for 5 students in the case of being punished by the teacher by self-injecting needles into their hands.
Initial determination, the blood index of the children is within the normal range, no signs of infection or infectious diseases have been recorded. Currently, the children's health is stable, the school and families are continuing to monitor the children's health and psychology.

The school is also taking steps to implement discipline against teacher L.T. M according to the provisions of law.
Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper reported that on April 15, there was a stir online about the incident of some students being punished by the teacher by having to inject themselves with needles into their hands. According to the reflection of a parent (who has a child in 3rd grade at Luong The Vinh Primary School), on April 13, seeing their child coming home from school showing signs of fatigue and unhappiness, the parent pressed him, and the child said that because he did not wear a scarf, he was punished by the teacher by injecting needles into his hand.
In addition to the above case, some other students, whenever they violate regulations such as talking, not taking a nap, or violating class rules, are punished by the teacher. The incident makes students afraid, and there is a risk of contracting infectious diseases.
Talking to reporters, a representative of Luong The Vinh Primary School confirmed that the incident occurred in grade 3-6, the teacher involved is Ms. L.T. M. Immediately after receiving the feedback, the school board worked with teachers and parents, determining that 5 violating students were fined by injecting themselves in their hands.
At the meeting, the teacher said that she had bought a syringe to use for her sick child. The next day, the teacher put it on the table and said to the students: "Anyone who violates or is not well-behaved should take the syringe and inject it into their hand, I don't inject it into their hands".
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi My Hanh - Principal of the school, this is an act of violating professional ethics, infringing upon the health and body of children. Teachers are seriously wrong, thinking distortedly about children's education methods, violating children's rights.
Leaders of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training also said that the Department has directed strict and proper handling according to teacher ethics standards. Currently, Ben Cat ward is taking steps according to regulations and will report the results of the work.
