This follows a recent alarming incident in which a student reportedly stabbed a fellow student on campus—an act that has sparked serious concerns about student safety and discipline in schools.
In response, GES is calling on all school heads to step up safety protocols and take proactive steps to prevent such incidents from recurring.
The directive outlines immediate actions that must be taken across all Senior High and Senior High Technical Schools.
Key Measures Outlined by GES:
- Regular Searches: School heads are to conduct routine checks on students and their belongings to ensure no dangerous items are brought onto school premises.
- Tightened Security: Schools are expected to enhance their internal security systems and presence to deter criminal or violent acts.
- Awareness Campaigns: Students must be educated on the dangers and consequences of carrying weapons or harmful items to school.
- Encouraging Vigilance: School communities should encourage students to report any suspicious behavior or objects to school authorities promptly.
These measures are seen as essential to maintaining a safe and conducive learning environment. GES believes that proactive intervention can help protect both students and staff from harm.
Regional Directors of Education have been tasked with ensuring that all heads of second-cycle institutions are informed of this directive and implement the required actions without delay.
The message is clear: student safety is non-negotiable, and schools must act decisively to protect all members of the school community.
