Over a hundred learners from New Eisleben Secondary School protested outside the Athlone Magistrate Court on Tuesday in support of two of their fellow classmates, who were charged with public violence. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Bronagh Casey said two weeks ago learners from the school were protesting and throw stones and damaged several of the school windows, offices as well as their toilets. 

Two of the students appeared in court yesterday but the case was thrown out of court. 

Casey said the learners` behaviour was unacceptable and would not be tolerated at any time and if any learner has grievances they should report it to the district officer not to vandalized school.
