However, the Ministry of Education has committed to assisting the student in pursuing his education through alternative means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe has reached a certain chronological stage and so his parents will have to make provisions for him to continue his education outside of the public secondary school system,\u201d Browne said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The director\u2019s decision reflects a zero-tolerance approach to weapons in schools, citing the serious disruption and fear the incident caused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a lot of deprivation. People were deprived of lunch \u2026 people started to feel unsafe,\u201d he said in relation to the lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the incident occurred on September 27 the 15 year old has not received any formal educational or vocational training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately after the incident, he had been placed on remand after appearing before the Child Justice Board. However, he was granted bail on November 5 after a second application was made in the High Court by his attorney Peyton Knight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He faces a charge of having a firearm in his possession in furtherance of an offence, which is an offence under Section 13(1) of the Firearm Act Chapter 171 of the Revised Edition 1992 of the Laws of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the ministry maintains its commitment to education for all students, including those who make serious mistakes, the incident has prompted a reinforcement of security measures across the nation\u2019s schools.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-914852406\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOURCE: DAILY OBSERVER The 15-year-old male student who allegedly took a firearm to school has been expelled, Director of Education Clare Browne told Observer yesterday.
