THE management of Makgofe High School outside Seshego, Polokwane released their learners on Thursday after many learners were found collapsing due to some unusual occurrence.
According to a learner who’s doing grade 8 at the school, she said that one of their classmate collapsed and started crying out loud.
“A we were seating in class; the teacher was busy. Suddenly there was noise at the back, when I looked back one of my classmate collapsed on the floor. She was creaming out loud and also shaking,” said the student.
She further added that the teacher requested all the learners to go outside of the class.
The school called some of the parents to come and fetch their children while some learners and teachers were told to leave the premises.
The Limpopo Department of Education said that they are looking in to the matter.
The Spokesperson for the department Tidimalo Chuene said that the school reported that 40 learners from various grades displayed “strange behaviour.”
“The school reported that the learners’ behaviour did not resemble any physical illness. As the department, we still don’t know what caused their fainting or why they fainted. We don’t want to speculate but we are concerned,” Chuene said.
The Spokesperson said the education department will work together with psychosocial experts to assist.
“We will bring the psychosocial experts to assist with the situation, so that teaching and learning can resume,” said Chuene.
