As schools prepare to open for the first term of this year’s academic year, security agencies have asked the school administrators to review their existing children protection policies to ensure the safety of the learners.
Schools will officially open for the first term next week on Monday 6th February 2023, but security agencies say that many school activities are expected to start this week.
Fred Enanga, the Police Spokesperson says that the school administrators need to review their safety measures and policies before they open for the first term or start admitting learners into their schools.
Enanga says that school administrators will also need to revisit their security emergency procedures which they can use in case of any emergency, especially informing of a fire outbreak in the school.
He has also cautioned both parents and teachers to be vigilant on incidents of kidnaps and bullying which always occur in schools especially at the start of the term.
Enanga however emphasizes that safety of children should be paramount in school and on the road as they travel to and from school.
