DepEd ramps up school security: Metal detectors, etc.

Following a tragic shooting in Tacloban City that left three high school students dead and many more injured, the Department of Education (DepEd) has introduced a comprehensive safety campaign to enhance school security. This initiative includes thorough bag inspections using handheld metal detectors to prevent similar incidents in the future. The measures are crucial to restore trust and ensure a safer learning environment for students and staff. This proactive approach underscores the importance of safeguarding educational institutions against violence.
