The Ministry of Education is working on a mechanism to deal with cases of bullying in schools.
This has been confirmed by the Minister for Education, Rosy Akbar who says that the schools are looking into cases reported in the media.
She says that details of those mechanisms are to be released soon.
We continue to get reports that there is a culture of bullying in some schools which is also encouraged by some parents, teachers and senior students. Their mindset is that the best way to discipline students is through punching them up or instilling other forms of discipline through violence.
There are cases where some teachers and ex-students have allegedly said that this is the best way to discipline junior students. Some ex-students of some of the schools have confirmed to Legend FM News that this culture has existed for years.
