Teacher Suspended After Viral Video of Abuse in Computer Lab

The Khon Kaen Provincial Education Office District 2 has suspended a sixth-grade teacher accused of inappropriate behavior toward a male student during a computer class lesson. An investigation was launched on July 13, 2025, after a video circulated online allegedly showing a male teacher engaging in indecent conduct inside the school's computer room. The video shows the teacher using his left hand to grab the student's head while using his other hand to touch himself, continuing until completion according to the video caption.

District Director Abhichai Senayotee and officials inspected the computer lab on July 13. While the classroom layout has since been modified, some features visible in the video—such as the location of the altar table at the front—remain recognizable. The teacher was absent on the inspection day. Based on information from school staff, the incident likely occurred before the 2025 school year began, when classrooms were being renovated. School records indicate the teacher has been employed at the school for approximately six years with no prior incidents of misconduct.

The student's parent reported that the child, who was facing the computer screen during the incident, was unaware of the teacher's inappropriate behavior and did not notice anything unusual. The teacher's mother contacted the school on the evening of July 12 and acknowledged her son was the person in the video.

Author Abhichai stated that the education office has ordered the accused teacher to report to district headquarters beginning July 14, 2025, preventing him from teaching during the investigation. A serious disciplinary committee has been appointed to conduct the formal hearing and pursue professional ethics proceedings in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The ministry emphasized protecting student safety as its top priority and vowed to take the fullest legal action if misconduct is confirmed.
