Narivooth School Apologizes for Botched Punishment Haircut

After photos of the uneven punishment haircut went viral, the Ban Pong girls' school pledged to overhaul its disciplinary approach.

Overview

  • Photos shared on July 15 in the All Ban Pong news Facebook group revealed the student's hair was crudely cut with ordinary paper scissors, leaving jagged, uneven lengths.
  • The post sparked widespread online condemnation of the school's traditional disciplinary methods and calls for a police report from some netizens.
  • Two days after the images circulated, Narivooth School issued a public apology and delivered formal warnings to the staff involved in the haircut.
  • The school announced it will review its disciplinary policies to adopt age-sensitive methods aligned with educational principles and respect for human rights.
  • The controversy follows a March Supreme Administrative Court ruling that ended national hairstyle mandates and gave individual schools authority over grooming standards.
