No compromise on safety of pupils in school

I REFER to the report “Pupil dies after being bitten by snake at school” (The Star, April 20). As soon as children enter the school grounds, their safety and security become the responsibilty of the school management. There should not be any compromise when it comes to safety of the pupils.

All the relevant parties – Education Ministry and department, school management, teachers and the school administrative staff – must work together to ensure the safety of all pupils.
