The vice-principal of Singapore Primary School resigns after being charged with having an affair with a parent.

After being charged with having an extramarital affair with a student's parent, the vice-principal of a primary school resigned.

On social media, images of the vice-principal and a person who is purportedly a parent of one of his pupils were shared.

As of October 18, they have been taken down.

The couple's pictures were taken unaccompanied in public.

Although screenshots of chats on a messaging app were also posted, it is impossible to confirm their veracity.

In response to Lianhe Zaobao's media inquiries, the Ministry of Education (MOE) stated that the vice-principal had resigned and that the issue had been brought to their attention.

MOE further stated that it will keep an eye on the situation and give parents and children the assistance they need.

According to the ministry, in order to protect the integrity and standing of the public service, school administrators must uphold high standards of personal behavior.

MOE has been approached by Mothership for comment.
