Student loses part of a finger in “school accident”
According to information reaching Virgin Islands News Online, the male student’s finger was severed about an inch from the tip of the nail. He was treated and released from the Peebles Hospital this afternoon.
When Virgin Islands News Online contacted Ms. Valerie Welsh, Principal of the Pre-Primary school, she said it was an accident.
The Principal said students do have accidents everyday but the teachers do their best to ensure that they are safe.
“We attend to the children, we care for them as much as we could and we try to monitor them,” Ms. Welsh said.
Efforts to get a comment from the Ministry of Education on the issue up to publication time were futile.
