The act of administrative violation issued on March 2 of 2011 regarding the math teacher Lali Kiknadze reads as it follows: “Lali Kiknadze addressed the bailiffs rudely (yelling) and expressed distrust towards the reform of bailiff service.”
Kiknadze was dismissed from the job on the basis of the order of Principal Eliso Nikolaishvili. The NGO Article 42 of Constitution defends her interests.
The dismissed teacher Lali Kiknadze states that she does not oppose the reform and has no idea what was the reason of her dismissal.
We believe that the bailiff exceeded his authority as according to the Law on Education, the main function of school bailiff is “to take educational measures towards the students, keep the order in school and suppress the violations.” The act of administrative violation composed by the bailiff represents a political statement, restricts the freedom of expression and cannot be a basis for job dismissal.
We are calling on Georgian government and the relevant organs to adequately react upon the occurred and immediately dismiss Giorgi Inasaridze and the principal of school #8 from the job in order to avoid the same kind of violations in future.
