Isolation Is Not Solution For Violent Students

Psychologists and pedagogues think that students with problematic behavior should not be isolated in special schools, but should work together with psychologists and pedagogues.

Having in mind the recent cases of violence in several schools in the last few months and the most recent one, which ended tragically with the death of Muhamed Ali Jasari, the First Children’s Embassy in the World Megjashi expresses its concern about the

Is it necessary for the worse to happen to make us start with pedagogical and educational measures for more security of children in schools? When will something be changed regarding the responsibility of teachers, psychological-pedagogical services and school principals as being not only responsible for the learning success of the children but their education and behaviour as well? Children, parents and the community need answers to these questions while waiting for specific measures from the Ministry of Education and Science. An 18 years old young man was killed. He just wanted to help his friend Darko! The death happened in the school yard. Who will take the responsibility for this case? Why is there a lack of preventive programs and activities against violence at schools? Will the Ministry of Education and Science finally understand that including activities of nonviolent conflicts resolution and peace education in all segments of education would help to prevent violence?
