On the afternoon of March 14, Mr. Nguyen Dang Vinh - Chairman of the People's Committee of Tu Nghia district, Quang Ngai - said that he had directed the Department of Education and Training to coordinate with the principal of Nghia Trung Secondary School to clarify the case of a student beating a friend.

Accordingly, a social media account spread a video of students fighting at school, attracting much attention from the community. This person was upset about the incident and claimed to be the sister of a student who was beaten.

In the video, a student was repeatedly beaten by a classmate, causing him to hold his head in pain. As soon as the incident ended, another student jumped in and beat his classmate in the same spot, causing outrage among social media users.

However, Mr. Le Hoai Phuc - Head of the Department of Education and Training of Tu Nghia district - said this was not a gang beating but two different incidents that happened consecutively.

"I just got the information this afternoon and immediately went to Nghia Trung Secondary School to find out, asking the school to invite parents to come and work. Currently, Nghia Trung Commune Police are also coming to the school to clarify," said Mr. Phuc.

Initial information, the incident happened during recess on the morning of March 14. At that time, student LNTP (grade 8) used his hands and feet to hit and kick student LVN (grade 7).

The reason came from when P. saw N. with a girl that P. liked, feeling "uncomfortable" so P. beat N..

The second school violence incident occurred at the same time and location. Student ICT (grade 8) rushed in to beat student Đ.TL (grade 7). The reason was that T. saw L. looking at him "with a haughty expression" and got angry.

According to the video, both students who were beaten used their hands to cover their faces, avoiding the continuous blows from their classmates. Neither of them fought back. When the incident happened, many students witnessed it. One student used his phone to record it.

After the meeting, the parents of the two students who beat their friend initially apologized. Although upset, the parents of the two beaten students also accepted the adults' apology. Everyone agreed to strictly educate their children.

"Because we are still students and the incident broke out, the best way is to educate and remind people to not let similar incidents happen again," said Mr. Phuc.
