Vietnam Ministry Building Regulation to Prevent School Violence

The Ministry of Education and Training on February 27 held a conference to seek opinions for a draft decree aimed at creating a safe and healthy environment at schools. The draft decree, publicized in July 2016, includes four chapters regulating responsibility and measures to ensure safety and non-violence at schools across Vietnam. One of the changes includes installing a monitoring system at educational establishments to collect information related to school violence. All education facilities must have an office in charge of receiving reports on violence or issues affecting safety and health at schools.
