The Director of Education is promising a thorough investigation into a disturbing video involving two male students within the public school system.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

The videos show a male student in a red shirt using the cord of a fan to strangle another student in a white shirt.<\/p>\n

It also shows a the boy in the red shirt slapping the other across his head while other students encourage the abuse.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Director Clare Browne has confirmed the incident occurred last week.
\nThe schools management, having learnt of what transpired, immediately suspended several students.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Commenting on the incident, Mr. Browne noted that while action cannot be taken by the ministry simply by viewing the video, believed to have been taped by another pupil, every effort will be made to properly investigate what took place.<\/p>\n

A report is being compiled by the schools principal, which will then be delivered to the director of educations office for review and action.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Director Clare Browne is reiterating that no form of bullying will be tolerated in schools and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology will enforce its zero tolerance policy against such actions.<\/p>\n
