Teachers at Eldorado Secondary School in Windhoek refused to teach lessons yesterday after a fellow teacher was stabbed in the chest by a father of a learner.

The teacher was stabbed with a screwdriver after he slapped a learner who in turn called his father to deal with the elder man.

When the nbc News crew arrived at the school, teachers were in a meeting with the education inspector.

Learners, who refused to speak on camera told nbc News that they only attended the first lesson of the day.
