The Ministry of Education ( MOE ) announced on Monday ( Mar 3 ) that all three Montfort Secondary School students in the viral video that made its rounds in February share some responsibility for the incident and will receive “appropriate punishment.  ,
A group of Montfort kids can be seen approaching the youngster from behind in the film that was posted on Instagram on February 22.  ,
One student kicked him twice, while another stumbled and pushed him to the surface. The second boy then tripped once more as a student came out of the shadows and tripped him once more.
More than 10,000 people shared the video on Twitter. It was unavailable as of 11 p.m. on February 23.  ,
The Secondary 1 scholar who was allegedly being pushed by various students in the film had previously fought with two colleagues, according to MOE in a statement on Monday.  ,
A professor put a stop to the verbal altercation in the classroom. The two colleagues followed the student to the doorway and restaurant after the dismissal, the statement read, and the fight persisted.  ,
The Education Ministry stated that” as all events share some responsibility for the event, disciplinary action has been taken to help them know the severity and consequences of their actions.”  ,
According to MOE, the three Secondary 1 learners involved will collect “appropriate punishment,” including punishment, confinement, and suspension.  ,
All three of the three have also received counseling, and the school has spoken with their parents about the administrative actions taken.  ,
MOE also confirmed that it was conscious that an investigation was being conducted and that it was informed that a police statement had been filed.  ,
The Education Ministry stated in its statement that “any kind of terrible behavior is not suitable and has no place in our colleges.”  ,
Our school staff” those who are aware of reports of harassment and fights” strive to understand the main causes of behavior, assist students in learning the consequences of their choices, and take responsibility to prevent students from repeating their mistakes.
A Twitter user named Joleen Wee, who claimed to be the mother of the child who was shoved in the video, posted a post about her son’s” horrific experience” on February 23 after the picture became popular online.  ,
She wrote in her article,” What the school and MOE have responded to or responded to has raised concerns about the university’s failure to protect its individuals.”  ,
She claimed that after the event, her son became a phobia of going to school and stirring with friends.  ,
” Through this article, I wished to understand that my brother wasn’t really being harassed!” He was beaten up”! She continued, noting that she had previously filed a police statement.  ,
MOE urged the general public to work with students and their parents to address these issues in its speech released on Monday.  ,
We are aware that when these situations occur, external parties may try to influence them, and we hope to collaborate to defend colleges as a safe haven for kids to learn and grow,” the statement read.  ,
