Andalusia Suspends Córdoba Preschool Teacher Over Alleged Abuse of 18 Children

The decision signals a tougher administrative stance during the court inquiry.

Overview

  • The regional education department ordered a precautionary suspension without pay at the request of the Córdoba inspectorate, the education chief said.
  • An investigating judge in Córdoba is handling the case after National Police detained the teacher on March 12 and released her following a statement.
  • Parents accuse the support teacher of genital touching and locking very young children in a dark bathroom, with the alleged victims aged three to four.
  • School leaders reassigned duties to keep her out of the affected preschool rooms after an initial inspector suggestion to keep the classroom door open was later dropped.
  • Reports differ on whether there are 17 or 18 complaints, and her brief reappearance in the Education alerts app as a support teacher deepened parents’ distrust of the process.
