The Western Cape Education Department has confirmed that the principal, who humiliated a student teacher over his hair on his first day of classroom observation, has been sanctioned with a final written warning. This after Vredenburg Primary principal Andre Muller pleaded guilty to a misconduct charge through his union representative. In addition to the final written warning, he was issued with a fine, suspended for one year on condition that he isn’t found guilty of the same or similar offence.
