<p>A nursery school teacher who sprayed Asian children with air freshener for &#8220;smelling of curry&#8221; has been banned from the classroom.</p>
<p>Elizabeth Davies, 50, was struck off the teaching register for a minimum of two years in what effectively amounts to a life ban.</p>
<p>She humiliated children as young as three on a regular basis over a six-year period to April 2007 and was found guilty of a string of charges by a General Teaching Council for Wales (GCTW) panel sitting in Cardiff.</p>
<p>In a stinging rebuke, panel chairman Peter Williams said: &#8220;It is our view that Mrs Davies&#8217;s behaviour strikes at the heart of what it is to be a teacher.&#8221;</p>
<p>He went on to describe it as a &#8220;complete disregard for the children&#8217;s dignity which should be preserved at all times&#8221;, adding that it included an &#8220;insensitivity to the (children&#8217;s) needs, in particular in relation to their intimate care&#8221;.</p>
<p>The panel heard how she would warn youngsters &#8220;there is a waft coming in from paradise&#8221; moments before targeting them with air freshener.</p>
<p>Mrs Davies, a nursery school teacher for 21 years, also directed class assistants who worked with her to do the same.</p>
<p>She was found guilty of leaving wet or soiled children unchanged and also prevented other support staff changing them.</p>
<p>The GCTW panel ruled that guilt in all five offences together amounted to unacceptable professional conduct.</p>
<p>The veteran nursery school teacher was working at Hafod Primary School in Swansea at the time, where more than half the pupils at the inner-city school, where she earned £34,000 a year, are of Bangladeshi origin.</p>
