 The Department of Education regrets the unfortunate incident which occurred at one of our schools after dismissal. As Chief Education Officer, our utmost priority is the safety and well-being of all staff and students within our educational institutions. This recent incident involving our students is deeply concerning. We are committed to ensuring that such incidents are thoroughly investigated as is being done now, and appropriate actions are taken to address both the immediate safety concerns and the underlying issues. Our focus is on providing support and guidance to all students involved. We at the Department have a strong emphasis on reformation and rehabilitation. We continue to work closely with law enforcement and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that our schools remain safe environments conducive to teaching, learning, and personal development. We encourage our parents to continue to collaborate with our school administrators and our teachers to ensure that our students and staff remain safe. Parents continue to keep close watch on your children. Pay attention to their social media pages. Pay attention to the conversations that they have with their friends. Pay attention to the friends that they keep and the areas that they spend time in. Parents, reach out to school administrators, reach out to our school counselors if you notice that something is not going well with your child and you need support. You need help for your children. Let us as a team, school, parents, and our community be proactive in protecting all of our students and all of our staff. Again, the matter is thoroughly investigated by the police and we await the results of the investigation.
