An investigation is being held to see why a fake firearm ended up at the Żejtun secondary school, the Education Ministry said on Friday.
It said the school’s administration noticed the suspicious object and after taking immediate action realised it had the form of a firearm but it was not real.
The head reported the matter to the police and an investigation was launched to establish how it ended up at the school.
The ministry said it would continue to follow the matter and supported the school’s administration's decision to take all necessary action.
