Details

We are currently increasing the number of inspectors who will ensure safety in general secondary education institutions. This is an achievement, because schools continue to apply to have such an officer. We prevented items that could pose a threat from being brought into educational institutions, including more than 20 explosive devices, we controlled the territory, and we resolved conflicts peacefully.

She noted that it is impossible to statistically calculate how many conflicts that were prevented could have escalated into bullying, but the presence of such an officer helped students receive education without feeling threatened.

We helped during evacuations, we did everything possible to prevent unauthorized persons who could pose a threat from entering the territory of educational institutions, and we conducted more than 200,000 various interactive lessons on security topics, national-patriotic education institutions, which did not stop even during the holiday period.
