Ministry: Students filming, sharing fights not tolerated

The Ministry of Education Transformation has issued a stern warning to students following reports that physical altercations are being deliberately arranged, filmed and posted online, describing the trend as both dangerous and a clear breach of school regulations.

The caution came yesterday after a video was circulated earlier this week on various social media platforms depicting several young girls fighting at school.

In a release, Deputy Chief Education Officer Julia Beckles said the ministry became aware that fights among students were, in some cases, being planned in advance specifically so they could be recorded and shared on social media, but the practice would not be tolerated under any circumstances.
