ISLAMABAD: The Syrian lady teacher of the Pakistan International School of Damascus (PISOD), who went public against the Pakistani ambassador to Syria, has been shown the door, on the pretext that she had jeopardised Syria-Pakistan relations by damaging the reputation of the school.
Ms Manal Suleman, the only teacher in Syria who conducts biology practicals for senior Cambridge examination, raised her voice against the Pakistan Ambassador to Syria, Amanullah Raisani, for his interests in PISOD, nepotism and sale of shoes at the school and was issued a show-cause notice over The Statesmen story.
Though the ambassador denies the newly-appointed principal of the school is his sister, the newly-appointed staff of the PISOD is either relatives of the ambassador or the principal or of the embassy staff. These new appointees are drawing hefty packages approved by the board of governors of the school, which is headed by the ambassador. Amanullah Raisani also confirms sale of shoes at the school, saying he wanted discipline in the school.
Ms Manal was asked on Tuesday to sign her termination letter, which carried some allegations that were untrue and on her refusal to accept a termination letter containing false allegations, a text message was disseminated among parents of over thousand students of PISOD, hailing from 54 nationalities of the world regarding termination of the brave teacher’s services.
The text message states, “Dear parents, we regret to inform you that Ms Manal Suleman’s services are terminated for involving herself in an unethical conduct of damaging the school’s reputation and jeopardising the Syrian-Pakistani relations. Ms Thanaa Ghabra will be replacing her, we advice you to instruct your children to focus on their learning.”
Earlier, in her reply to the show-cause notice issued by the school run by the Pakistan embassy in Damascus, Ms Manal had stated, “The information that was given to The Statesmen reflected what was happening over the past months at the school, and were clear enough to be figured out without any effort. Your administration, with respect (as well as with evidence and proof), have done the school everything except the basic task of any other school, which is education.”
Ms Manal Suleman says she has been disrupted and plans to knock the doors of the court. She said her career has been ruined by disseminating such a defamatory text message among over a thousand parents of students. “I stood by the truth and will always stand by it no matter come what may,” vowed the lady, adding: “I hope all Pakistanis are not bad.”
