Let’s please support the school code

THE EDITOR: The revision of the National School Code of Conduct by the Ministry of Education is timely and necessary. I believe the document is long overdue in our schools and can contribute to helping improve discipline among students.

Students and teachers should feel safe on the school compound and must not be subject to any form of abuse or injury by a small group of students who do not want to change their behaviour.

I hope teachers and principals will enforce the rules and regulations found in this document and anyone found guilty of breaking these rules should face the prescribed consequences.

I noticed the document does not only address indiscipline but many other common problems, like bullying and pornography, which affect students.

The decision by the ministry to revise the code and put this document back into our schools is a very good idea and should be fully supported by all principals, teachers, students and parents.
