Addressing violence against minors is its main priority governmentwhich is launching a major campaign to address the phenomenon.

On Tuesday (9/4), at 11:00 in the morning, the prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the Minister of Education Kyriakos Pierrakakiswill present from the 3rd Polichni High School the government’s plan and the national strategy to combat violence in schools, as well as bowling.

The interventions it will undertake Ministry of Education will be at all levels. One of them concerns the operation of a digital complaint platform for incidents of bullying in schools. Complaints on the platform will be anonymous. Using the platform will be quite easy. There will be questions as well as fields where complainants can write in detail the incident they either saw or experienced. In the first instance, the school will take over and if the incidents are considered very serious, then it will be managed by the education directorate, a 4-member committee which will consist of a psychologist, a social worker and two teachers.

Also, the framework of consequences is tightened for the bowling students. The 5-day suspension is back and the separation of absences into unjustified and justified 40 – 75. We know that the absence log, the material book and the students’ grades will be digitized so that parents can know at any time what is happening at school.

In the case of students who have caused material damage to the school, then the parents will be charged financially to cover the cost of the repair.

The use of cell phones in school is still prohibited today. However, students who use their cell phones to expose classmates on social media will face the harshest penalty of changing the school environment.
