The Mauritian ministry of Education is setting up a structure in order to tract pedophile teachers in schools following a huge scandal recently where a pupil has accused an inspector of primary schools of having been sexually aggressive towards him many times.
The structure will not only be a preventive and curative one, but will at the same time have a psychologist who will “draw up the profile” of a pedophile which will help the staff of schools to recognize such persons.
The General Purpose Teachers Union (GPTU), one of the stakeholders in the setting up of the structure, on Tuesday handed over to Education Minister Vasant Bunwaree the names of two other paedophile teachers which the union declares are still working in schools.
Meanwhile, the State Law Office has been directed by the government to set up a list of all those persons who have been accused of having had sexual intercourse with children.
Out of this list, the Police will make a selection and establish a second list of those who have several times been condemned for pedophile activities.
A Police officer who requested anonymity declared to APA that the second list will be so long that it will “attest to the fact that the Mauritian society is really ill”.
“Eye watchers” will be used to ensure that those on the second list are not left alone with small children.
At the same time, the State Law Office is exploring the possibility of introducing electronic tags to monitor the whereabouts of habitual sexual offenders.
