The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines pushed for stronger school safety and support systems on Wednesday, following the stabbing incident in Cavite involving students.
“Schools must be places where children feel safe and protected at all times,” ACT Chairperson Ruby Bernardo said in a statement.
“Ensuring safety in schools requires adequate personnel, proper student support systems, and learning environments where learners are properly guided and cared for,” she added.
Seven Grade 5 students were allegedly attacked by a Grade 8 student using a kitchen knife inside a private school in General Trias City, Cavite, on Tuesday.
