Matshekge students beat up teachers

Instead, the union believes that much discussion in schools focuses on parents’ concerns for the safety of students in the classroom.  The union’s concern comes just days after one of the teachers was brutally beaten up by a group of students at Matshekge Senior Secondary School. Both the police and the school have launched an investigation into the matter.  What is more worrying to the union is that one of the students was involved in a similar incident last term and then served a 20-day suspension.

Then, he had severely injured a male teacher on the head after he hit him with a brick. The school management had also recommended the expulsion of the said student according to BOSETU. “Had the student been expelled timely as recommended by the school maybe the incident could not have occurred. The ministry usually takes time to act on students recommended for expulsion and some of them even end up completing school.
