An Indian teacher has fled Shaviyani atoll after students assaulted him and threatened him with a boxcutter, local media reported Thursday, the second incident of school violence in as many days.
VFP Online reported that the teacher worked at Funadhoo island school.
An eyewitness said the grade 10 students were unhappy with the way an assignment had been marked and initially attacked the teacher with a chair.
“The teacher went to the supervisor’s room but was sent back to the class by his superiors. That is when they put a boxcutter to his neck. He has left for Malé now to leave the country,” the eyewitness told VFP.
