Print Edition
SEVEN people have been suspended or removed from their posts following a fatal primary school stampede in southwest China’s Yunnan Province on Friday afternoon. The accident left six students dead and 26 injured at Mingtong Primary School in Kunming, capital of Yunnan.
A deputy head of the city’s education bureau and a vice governor of Panlong District have been suspended due to “serious dereliction of duty.” Another three people, including the head of Mingtong Primary School, have also been suspended, the local government said yesterday. Two people in charge of school safety, including a deputy head of the school, have been sacked, it added. A preliminary investigation showed that the stampede occurred after a nap period, when students were going downstairs. Panic set in when a large section of cotton padding used in the gym that a teacher had left against the wall fell and blocked the way.
