| Surman high school student banned after threatening exam monitoring committee with gun |
| 2017-07-29 |
| [Libya Herald] The Presidency Council’s education minister Osman Abdel Jalil has taken the unusual step of banning a student from school for two years. The decision, one of the toughest ever taken by any education minister in memory, came after the high school student, who has been named as Muhannad Mohammed, threatened the school examination monitoring committee with a gun unless they allowed him to pass his exams. The incident, at a private school in Sorman, happened a few days ago. The student, brandished a 9mm pistol at the committee in the apparent belief that it would pass him, enabling him to get into university. The committee, however, reported the incident to the education ministry which has ruled that he will not be allowed to study at any public or private school in Libya for the next two years. The decision even extends to Libyan schools abroad. Any results attributed to him in the past academic year have also been annulled, it was announced. The incident highlights the extent to which people now think nothing of using force or threats of force to obtain what they want. In another loosely related incident in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... yesterday, a top education ministry official named as Ahmida Ramadan Ghariani was shot at as he left a mosque in the city. Apparently the gunnies first tired to kidnap him but failed. He was not injured in the attack. |
