The National Child Protection Authority (NCPA) has commenced a special investigation into the incident of a female student being expelled from school by the Principal and the school Disciplinary Committee for vomiting during school hours.
A special team of police officers have been sent to the area and they are recording statements from the parties concerned, the NCPA said.
The authority has also paid attention to confirm whether the student had been subjected to severe psychological trauma.
Meanwhile, the victimized child had been directed to receive counseling assistance, according to NCPA.
The female student who was in attendance at a government school at Datugama in Kekirawa was expelled from school following a disciplinary inquiry conducted by the school principal and disciplinary committee on October 19.
It has been reported that the female student was summoned before the principal after a group of students lodged a complaint with school administrators stating that the girl was pregnant.
