In an unprecedented incident, two teachers at a government school in Central Leeward engaged in a physical altercation in the presence of the principal. The confrontation, which began with a heated exchange among three educators, culminated in one teacher striking another after a particularly offensive remark.
Sources reveal that one of the involved teachers, who is currently on a five-day sick leave, initiated the argument that led to the clash. Following the incident, both teachers reported the altercation to the police, who have confirmed that an investigation is underway.
When approached for comments, the school’s principal assured that the situation is under control but remained tight-lipped about whether the incident was reported to the Ministry of Education, stating only, “I did what I had to do and I have nothing else to say.”
A Ministry of Education representative acknowledged hearing about the incident but noted the absence of an official report.Rumors of a video capturing the altercation are circulating, although ANN has not yet obtained the footage.
This incident raises serious questions about the conduct and professionalism expected within educational institutions. Further developments are anticipated as the investigation continues.
