Deputy head in hospital after scuffle (2)

(ANSA) - Naples, December 9 - The deputy head of a liceo classico in Castellammare di Stabia near Naples, Giovanna Domestico, was taken to hospital Friday after teachers repelled an attempt by students to occupy the high school and a scuffle broke out. There was a crush as students tried to break through the teachers' cordon and Domestico fell and suffered injuries that forced her to go to the nearest ER. Some girls say their hair was pulled. The students of the Pliny the Elder School have complained they are being forced to hold lessons in the gym and study in shifts because of a lack of rooms. They therefore decided to protest by occupying the building.
