…Home-Economics teacher injured
Chaos ensued yesterday afternoon at the Berbice Educational Institute in New Amsterdam and a Diwali Programme halted after a Home Economics teacher at the school was badly injured in her leg after a Fifth Form male student threw a Thunder King bomb while the programme was ongoing.
The teacher reportedly “ran” after she realised that the device was thrown too close to her.
The incident happened during the afternoon session of school just after the annual Diwali programme had started in the school’s auditorium.
According to reports, a male teacher immediately apprehended the student who threw the device and handed him over to the Central Police Station in New Amsterdam, for questioning.
The injured teacher had to be helped into a taxi and was taken to the healthcare facility in the town. Students reported seeing blood running down her feet.
No official from the Welfare Division of the Department of Education or the Head teacher at the school was prepared to comment on the matter.
Instances of students lighting explosives and throwing them in classrooms and other populated areas on the school complex have been prevalent over the past weeks. Some schools have resorted to calling in the police.
In many cases the perpetrators are not known.
