2026(SELASA)  \n# N.STRAITS TIME\n\nGoing the extra mileto make schools safer  \nConcrete action must ensure thereis no place for indiscipline,violenceNST ((10/2PS 2  \nT is ironic that while schools and hostels are meant toprotect students,some of the gravest dangers cancome from within.Last month,a14-year-old boy diedafter being found unconscious at a school hostel inKuala Pilah,with police investigating an alleged assault.On Saturday,a 16-year-old schoolgirl was found dead in aschool hallin Yong Peng,and three male schoolmates havebeen detained in connection with her death.Thesetragedies are a grim reminder that schools and hostels,which should be safe places for children,are not immuneto violence.Between 2021 and 2026,Malaysia has seen adisturbing series of bullying and assault cases involvingstudents.The Education Ministry's Student DisciplineSystem recorded 21,307 bullying cases between 2021 and2025.The numbers alone are cause for concern.But re-peated cases of violence raise a more fundamental ques-tion:are existing safeguards enough to protect studentsfrom threats within the school community?This is not tosuggest that every incident has the same cause.Bullying,  \nhazing,peer violence andfailures of supervision canhave different causes.Whatthey have in common is thepotential to escalate whenwarning signs are missed,complaints are ignored orsu-pervision fails.  \nThe EducationMinistry'sorder for acomprehensivereview,withinstructions 'not tohide anything',istherefore welcome.  \nIn boarding schools,anen-trenched culture of senioritycan foster intimidation,haz-ing and peer-enforced pun-ishment,sometimes nor-  \n# □SINAR HARIAN\n\nmalised as a \"rite of pas-  \nsage”.Serious incidents must never be treated as meredisciplinary matters.The Education Ministry's order for acomprehensive review,with instructions \"not to hide any-thing”,is therefore welcome.But investigations aftertragedies are not enough.What is needed is a systematicreview of how schools identify risks,respond to com-plaints and protect students before violence occurs.School safety measures and safeguards must therefore bethoroughly reviewed.  \nWhile each tragedy is different,repeated incidentsshould compel authorities to strengthen prevention,su-pervision and emergency responses.This should includesafety audits of schools,checks on CCTV coverage andblind spots,stronger access controls,attendance mon-itoring and closer supervision of students.The educationminister's latest directive must betranslated into concreteaction.Risks withinschools and hostels must be identifiedearly,with clear channels for students to report bullying,suspicious behaviour and threats before they escalate.Schools must remain places of learning and safety,notplaces where violence is allowed to become normal.","cbCailiFXH3LNd4O","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailiFXH3LNd4O","pdf",186080,"English","# N.STRAITS TIME\n## Going the extra mile to make schools
