In presenting her condolences to the victims’ families, Minister Raïssa Malu also reaffirmed her support for the ongoing investigations and stressed the need to clearly establish responsibilities. It is imperative that justice be done and that appropriate measures be taken to prevent such tragedies in the future.
These tragic events highlight the urgency of strengthening school security and raising awareness throughout society of the importance of promoting a climate of non-violence and respect within our educational communities. Schools must be places of knowledge, sharing and kindness, where each student feels safe and has the opportunity to fully develop.
In conclusion, it is essential that these events serve as a catalyst for concrete actions aimed at preventing violence in schools and ensuring the protection of children and adolescents. Solidarity and cooperation from all actors in society are essential to build a better and safer future for future generations.
