Hiriya principal’s suspension extended for another month

Ministry of Education has extended the suspension of Hiriya School Principal, Ismail Masroof for another one-month period.

He was originally suspended by Ministry of Education on April 17 for a month.

Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Education, Dr. Abdul Muhsin Mohamed now says that Masroof’s suspension has been extended for another one-month period.

Muhsin did not give a reason for the decision.

The case is being investigated by Family and Child Protection Department of Maldives Police Service.
