Bullied teacher awarded in memoriam

Education Minister Kateřina Valachová has awarded in memoriam a teacher from a secondary school in Prague’s Malešice district, who died last year after being bullied by her students for several months. The case made national headlines after a video of the bullied teacher was leaked to the Internet. The minister said she was determined to tackle the problem and contribute to a safer environment in schools. Another 44 teachers were awarded at the ceremony in the Senate on Tuesday, which marked international teacher’s day.
