An intern at the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) was verbally and physically abused by a teacher for allegedly disobeying direct orders from her. The intern got so upset that she filed a written complaint against the instructor and now a committee has been set up by the administration to probe the matter.
According to the details of the incident provided, the intern had been working at the physics department of the female campus of IIUI under the National Internship Program (NIP).
On April 21, she was tasked by one of the instructors to arrange a teacher’s evaluation class in room number 321 of the department. After she had arranged the entire computer lab, a teacher from the physics department came and asked her to vacate the room.
Dr. Shaista Shahzada came at 12 pm and asked the intern to leave the room since she wanted to hold a quiz for her second year MSc. Students.
“As the teacher had no written proof of her pre-arranged class, I asked her to coordinate or confirm from the office,” claimed the intern, adding that the teacher instead started shouting and insulting her.
“Now you ignoble intern will tell me what to do,” the intern quoted the teacher as having said. The two then exchanged harsh words before Dr Shahzada allegedly “slapped” the intern.
When the teacher was trying “to hit me again I stopped her but she dragged me out of the class saying that she will complain to the president about me,” the intern claimed.
After the intern filed the complaint with the president of IIUI, a committee was set up to probe the incident and come up with recommendations.
This is not the first time that Dr. Shahzada has been accused of misbehaving as she previously slapped a staffer and locked another one in a room for not handing her the keys to the lab.
