tough measures will be put in place at the Lodge Secondary School after a student was found with an air gun inside his backpack last week.
Minister Manickchand said that students who continue to engage in violent behaviour can be sent to the New Opportunity Corps (NOC) – a juvenile correctional facility on the Essequibo Coast in Region Two.
In a separate incident on Thursday last, teachers and students of the Campbellville Secondary School in Georgetown were traumatised after a ‘gang-related’ incident disrupted the entire school.
Manickchand had related that schools with such incidents will require a complete overhaul, physically and academically.
