Starting this Tuesday, GNR is marking the return to school with activities to raise awareness of self-protective behavior among students, teachers and caregivers as the Safe School Program enters its 31st year.
In a statement, the GNR said the action will take place in around 5,000 schools in its area of responsibility between Tuesday and Friday, and also aims to address inclusivity by preventing “behaviour that deviates from the social order”.
During this period, security forces will also publicize the Safe School program, which is celebrating 31 years of existence, and will highlight the soldiers in charge of the program at the respective school, with contacts being shared to promote greater intimacy and importance. school safety for children and young people.
About 400 soldiers from the Crime Prevention and Community Policing Sections will help raise awareness of outdoor, indoor and road safety as traffic increases due to students being transported to schools.
For young students, the GNR advises that when traveling to school, travel with an escort if possible and avoid driving through isolated or poorly lit areas. “The closest route is not always the safest,” he says.
Memorize the local GNR station number on your mobile phone as one of your speed dial numbers – another safety tip.
When it comes to internet use, young people are urged to carefully select the content they post and guard their passwords carefully, avoiding sharing them with friends, changing them regularly and using different passwords for different services.
Young people are also urged to report any threat, remembering: “Don’t believe everything you are told or shown.”
Parents are encouraged to monitor their children’s academic development and daily routine and contact the GNR whenever they know or suspect that their child or classmates have been victims of threats, assaults or other types of crime.
The 2023/2024 school year begins this Tuesday for about 1.3 million students in grades 1 to 12, but many will not yet study all subjects due to a shortage of teachers in schools.
Schools are due to officially start the school year from Tuesday to Friday, but teacher shortages are again hampering the return to school, leaving thousands of students without a teacher in at least one subject.
At the end of last week, even after nearly three thousand teachers had been hired, schools still had about 1,300 empty timetables, and on Monday the National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof) reported more than 100,000 students without a teacher.
