The directive was issued in the context of many cases of gang beating, humiliation, and chasing students taking place outside school gates, in residential areas, even staged, filmed, and publicly disseminated on social networks. It cannot be said that the education sector is indifferent. Programs to build safe schools, moral education, life skills, and school psychological counseling have been and are being implemented. But reality shows that school violence is still continuously happening. That forces us to look straight: Many solutions are not strong enough.
Alarmingly, many cases have shown signs very early. Students show signs of psychological instability, prolonged conflicts, being isolated, threatened... but are not detected or intervened in time. In some places, when the matter has not "broken out", the school chooses to avoid it, internally handle it to calm things down. When the clip spreads, public opinion is outraged, everything is put on the table. That way of doing things is not only slow, but also dangerous. School violence today is no longer confined to the classroom. It creeps out into society, associated with cyberspace, where provocative words, challenges, and ridicule can push a small conflict into serious violent behavior. When students consider fighting and humiliating friends as a way to "resolve the problem", then it is clear that moral education and culture of behavior are having very worrying gaps.
The Prime Minister's directive on preventing and repelling school violence is a clear message: No more delays are allowed. Responsibilities have been pointed out very specifically - from the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Public Security, local authorities, schools to families. The remaining issue is how far to implement it, whether it is substantive or not. Because if it only stops at "grasping", "strengthening propaganda" without inspection, supervision and strict handling, school violence will still recur.
Families cannot stand aside. Many parents only discover that their children are victims - or even perpetrators of violence - when things have gone too far. Busyness, lax management, leaving children to school or smartphones are unintentionally creating dangerous voids.
Schools cannot just stop at the role of "teaching letters". Moral education, lifestyle, and emotional control skills must become the core part, not secondary content. In particular, the role of the Police force and local authorities in ensuring security in the area around the school cannot be underestimated.
The "6 clear" viewpoint - clear people, clear tasks, clear authority, clear responsibility, clear time, clear results - must be practically applied in preventing and combating school violence. It is not possible to handle it in a generalized way. Each case must clarify responsibility, must have conclusions, have remedial measures and be followed to the end.
Preventing school violence is not only to protect a few students who are hurt today, but also to protect the future of a generation, building a safer society. With Directive 03, the educational environment will be a happy environment for every student.
