A teacher is facing suspension after she posed next to a 'sexy' snow-woman built with a red bra and G-string.

Cilem Sakine Coskun is accused of violating social values after she was photographed next to the carefully crafted sculpture, which was made by students.

The picture, which was posted on social media, upset educational authorities because the snow-woman boasts big breasts and a curvaceous body, unlike the more traditional snowman shape.

The bizarre row has kicked off at Nurhak Anadolu High School in Turkey, after the PE teacher posed on the playground.

One unnamed student commenting online said: "This is a load of snow balls, it was just a bit of fun. Everybody makes snowmen so we thought it would be a laugh to make a snowwoman.

"Our teacher is good fun and popular and she joined in. I can’t believe there is an investigation by the Ministry of Education."

Local teachers union Egitim-Sen condemned the investigation and linked it to the death of Halil Serkan Oz, an award-winning Turkish teacher who died due to a heart attack after he was reprimanded by a governor over the length of his hair, beard and scruffy clothes.

In a statement they said: "The mindset that insulted an award-winning teacher in Yalova over his clothes and the mindset that cannot tolerate a snow-woman in Nurhak are the manifestation of the same darkness."
