Kolkata, Mar 10: The State School Education department has issued directives to all the
government-run and state-aided schools to set up Student Safety and Security
Monitoring Committee (SSMC).
These would primarily keep an eye on whether any physical
abuse is taking place on children.
In the order, SSMCs have been asked to conduct sensitisation programmes for both teaching and non-teaching staff on how to deal with students.
Classes would also be held to make the students aware about good touches and bad touches.
The guidelines also say that security personnel and bus drivers will not be allowed to enter school premises.
The Trinamool Congress Government has taken various measures to prevent any form of bullying of students in schools.
As per the new directive, if incidents of bullying occur, the respective SSMC will have to take firm steps against the accused.
In the SSMC, the headmaster or headmistress of a school will be the chairman. A female or male teacher will be there in the committee, along with two guardians and invitee members from Health, Fire and Police Departments.
The SSMCs in the secondary-level schools will have the headmaster or headmistress as the chairman, a female or male teacher, president of the school managing committee, two guardians and invitee members from the Health and Police Department.
The order further said details of the committee, along with the contact details of the members, should be displayed on the school notice board and website.
The committee should hold bi-monthly meetings. If there is any incident of sexual abuse on the children, the SSMC will carry out the probe.
The State Government has made elaborate arrangements to check security issues at the schools.
The directive also stated that mid-day meals should be served to the students only after being tested by the headmaster or the teacher in-charge or the teacher approved for the role.
All preventive measures should be taken in the process of cooking and in serving or transportation of mid-day meals.
Instructions have also been given on the conducting of drives against vector-borne diseases. UNI
