Our schools must do more to protect kidsRecent disturbing cases of child sexual abuse again show how our education system has failed to keep children safe at school. The new education minister must prioritise school safety and enforce safeguards to protect the next generation. A 54-year-old physical education teacher in Buri Ram is accused of repeatedly molesting a 15-year-old student, allegedly threatening academic failure to silence her. Our education system also fails to teach children how to protect themselves or report abuse. The education system must move beyond traditional methods and adopt tools that resonate with young learners.
