The Marabella North Secondary School is the scene of a student-stabbing incident.

The Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association, is very concerned.

President Martin Lum Kin says, the first form male student was stabbed during an altercation with a classmate on Tuesday.

He says, the incident occurred during the lunch period in the full view of other pupils.
