Mass hysteria suspected at Amateta Combined School

The Ministry of Education, Arts, and Culture is looking into reports of learners fainting and speaking incoherently at Amateta Combined School in the Oshikoto Region’s Onankali circuit. The director of education in the Oshikoto Region, Alletta Eises says far, 18 learners have exhibited the behaviour. She said they suspect that the learners are exhibiting signs of mass hysteria, but the Directorate of Education, Arts and Culture’s special education team will visit the school to investigate. Eises adds that the inspector is on the ground and the matter is under control.
