INDONESIA: The Deputy Minister of Education highlighted the government’s dedication to creating schools that are free from violence through various important programs from the ministry. Other key initiatives include creating a helpful pocketbook as a guide for schools; involving community groups, psychologists, and legal experts in helping victims recover; regularly checking in on and assessing cases that attract a lot of public interest; and improving communication about policies—not just for school principals but also for teachers, parents, and the broader community. Counseling is one method used to prevent violence and enhance current efforts. This regulation shows the commitment to improving prevention and management of violence in schools.
- Lord, we pray for the successful implementation of programs aimed at creating violence-free schools. May these initiatives foster a safe and nurturing environment for students, teachers, and staff in Indonesia (The Holy Bible, Psalm 29:11).
- Lord, we pray for the involvement of community groups, psychologists, and legal experts in supporting victims and creating a culture of healing and recovery within schools (The Holy Bible, Psalm 147:3).
