Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is continuing to call for the end of school brawls, stating that schools are places of learning and not battlegrounds.
The Prime Minister noted that deployed officers will support the schools in accordance with the law, protecting teachers and students from bullying, assault, and daily fear.
In fulfilling the election promise of restoring law and order, Mrs. Persad-Bissessar added that abusive students or parents will also be removed from schools, and those in possession of drugs or who resort to violence, intimidation, and extortion will face the law.
