Minister of Education, Dr. Nicollete Henry, yesterday travelled to Linden, where she met and engaged in talks with students and teachers of the Linden Foundation Secondary School.
Her visit was prompted by a stabbing incident involving three students of the school on Thursday.
The Minister also visited the Linden Technical Institute and Wisburg Secondary, where other incidents of violence by students, have been perpetrated in the past.
On Thursday, a 15-year-old student of the Linden Foundation Secondary School, was stabbed by another student of the school.
The incident occurred during a fight, involving the 15-year-old and the attacker’s sister.
The victim was rushed to the Linden Hospital Complex, where she underwent emergency surgery, to remove a hunting knife that was lodged in her back.
The student reportedly suffered a broken rib, and damage to her lungs and spleen.
Video footage of the incident, which was circulated on social media, clearly showed two students fighting on the ground, when the one on top, was attacked from behind by another student.
Later, the injured student could be seen staggering away, with bloodied clothing and the knife, which was protruding from her back, clearly visible.
According to a police report, Shashamani Williams, of the Linden Foundation Secondary School was wounded in an incident that occurred about 15:00 hours on Thursday at Third Corner, Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden.
Two students, 12 and 14 years old respectively, and who are reportedly sisters, were yesterday morning arrested at their home, and taken into police custody, in relation to the incident.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
