Teacher transferred pending probe into death of girl after school run
A spokesman from the Kedah education department says the teacher was transferred to another school shortly after an initial investigation.
An 11-year-old girl with a heart condition, Nur Qaira Alisha Ahmad Ilwan, tragically died after being forced to participate in a school run, according to her family. On April 15, the girl reportedly complained of feeling nauseous and appeared exhausted following the run. She was subsequently admitted to the hospital on April 24 due to persistent vomiting and swelling around her eye. Tragically, Qaira was placed on respiratory support and passed away on Wednesday.
The Kedah education department has transferred the teacher involved in the incident to another school pending an investigation. The education ministry's integrity unit has been tasked with conducting a thorough probe, with Minister Fadhlina Sidek emphasizing the need for stern action following the incident. The education department is currently examining the matter based on a complaint filed by Qaira's family, who claim she was subjected to undue pressure despite having a medical letter confirming her heart condition.
