Have more women employees for greater safety: Prakash Javadekar to schools
A greater presence of women — employees and bus drivers — in schools can help address the issue of safety on campus, Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said, days after a 7-year-old Gurugram student was killed in a washroom.
NEW DELHI: A greater presence of women — employees and bus drivers — in schools can help address the issue of safety on campus, Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said, days after a 7-year-old Gurugram student was killed in a washroom.
Schools and parents need to work together to find a solution to the issue of students' safety, the minister said.
"There should be more and more women employees in schools and school buses can also have women drivers so that there is more safety for students," Javadekar told reporters here.
The human resource development minister said he would talk to parents and school authorities after the initial probe into the killing of the boy was over.
"The culprits will be booked and charge-sheeted and we will address this issue," he added.
The killing of the class 2 student of Gurugram's Ryan International School sparked outrage among parents+ and others on the issue of safety of children in schools.
The boy was found dead, with his throat slit, in the school's washroom last week. The police alleged he had been killed by a school bus conductor.
"The culprits will be booked and charge-sheeted and we will address this issue," he added.

The boy was found dead, with his throat slit, in the school's washroom last week. The police alleged he had been killed by a school bus conductor.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had on Saturday set up a two-member fact finding committee to enquire into the student's death and negligence, if any, on the school authorities' part.
The CBSE also asked the school to submit a report to it.
Ryan Pinto, CEO of the Ryan International Schools Group, had yesterday said the school should not be held "culpable of a crime where it is itself a victim of unfortunate circumstances" and added that the management was cooperating with the police in its probe.
