وتكليف الطالب بن
ordering student Ben to


Explanation:
The sentence as such is quite ambiguous, but assuming that Ben is the student's name, the sentence would mean either commisioning or ordering the student to do something.

وتكليف الطالب بنقل الواجب المدرسي
Giving the student a home working copying assignment


Explanation:
I prefer to use a less violent or punishing statement, as in some cultural and educational context it is not acceptable to punish the student, but motivation and practise spirit is encouraged.

All the best,

Saleh
