Schools resume after holidays with bullying and vulgar language concerns

After three weeks of observing Christmas and New Year festivities, schools have resumed academic activities.

With the resumption comes the need to address rising vulgar language and bullying in schools.

As expected, pleasantries were exchanged among schoolmates, teachers, and non-academic staff.

At JSS Kpaduma, early comers got notebooks as a way of encouraging punctuality and learning.

Elsewhere, some students of a private school chose to welcome themselves back by staging a campaign against vulgar language and bullying.

Deborah, a guidance counsellor, and Turu Musa, the principal at JSS Kpaduma, underscore the need to eradicate bullying as it affects the mental stability of victims.

The federal ministry of education is promising stringent measures to check bullying after some horrific incidents in 2024.

For Nigeria’s justice ministry, it is a task for victims to get justice.

The number of bullying cases recorded in Nigerian schools yearly is not readily available.

Meanwhile, a report from the National library of medecine in the UK says England and Wales have banned bullying in schools.
