The Union, however, condemned the erroneous act in the school calling for security enforcement to ensure students are safer in the institution.
"What has happened in the school has touched everybody including us teachers and we are really supportive of efforts by authorities to unravel identity of the attacker (s). In the meantime it is important for everybody to remain calm as we await the outcome," he said.
The officials spoke even after 90 staff in the school were taken DNA tests to unravel the intruder.
