The housemistress of the school is said to have denied the deceased's request for an exemption to return home for medical assistance.
Angel Carbonu criticized the school administration in an audio recording for denying the sick student a leave of absence, which allegedly contributed to her untimely death.
He continued, "A girl becomes ill and requests transportation to the hospital; she is shown to the house personnel.
If a student is ill, and there is evidence that the student is sick, and the student requests an excuse to go to the hospital, you have absolutely no reason to deny the request.
What do you stand to gain as a teacher by denying a pupil permission to leave class to go to the hospital?"
He then criticized instructors who deny sick students' requests for a leave of absence, calling the incident tragic.
"How can you claim it's not time for exeat? Therefore, regardless of whether you are sick or dying, I will not give you exeat.
