School administrators, students and parents are being urged to work together to keep schools safe and free from violence and bullying as the 2026/27 academic year gets under way.
Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth and Information, Senator Marlon Morgan, made the appeal during a ceremony at Edward Seaga Primary School in Kingston on Monday, September 7.
Morgan said his hope is that no lives will be lost to school-related violence during the new academic year.
He urged students to use conflict-resolution techniques to settle disputes peacefully and encouraged those experiencing bullying or other conflicts to seek help from trusted adults rather than taking matters into their own hands.
“If somebody troubles you or bullies you, bring it to the attention of an adult – either a teacher or school administrator,” Morgan said.
He also urged guidance counsellors and deans of discipline to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing conflicts and supporting positive behaviour among students.
Morgan said the Education Ministry continues to invest resources in school safety, including the use of metal detectors to prevent weapons from entering school compounds.
He stressed that maintaining safe school environments remains critical to students’ academic success and is a top priority for the Ministry.
