THE Education Ministry is to be commended for finally appointing a high level Action Committee on Bullying, to adopt measures to ensure that bullying in schools does not worsen.
According to ministry statistics, 2.03% of students were involved in various disciplinary issues. Last year alone 111,895 students had disciplinary problems and 95,046 of them were from secondary schools. These are the students who are likely to be recruited as future gangsters. Is that what we want? Surely the figures are alarming enough to come up with more drastic measures to combat bullying in schools and curbing the number of future criminals being churned out from our education system?
