In an effort to ensure safer learning environments, the Government is moving to strengthen the Deans of Discipline programme across public schools. Following a recent tragic incident involving students, Minister Morris Dixon emphasized that increasing the number of deans will provide crucial support for principals managing large student populations. The Ministry is also urging the early reporting of disputes to School Resource Officers before conflicts escalate off-campus.
