School grooming policy stakeholder consultations ongoing
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Consultations on the proposed school grooming policy are ongoing, says Minister of Education, Youth, Skills and Information, Senator Dana Morris Dixon.
“We actually have another one that has been drafted [and] updated, based on, for example, one court case that we had, and that has been doing the rounds. It was circulated with the principals, it was circulated with the student council members, so the students have a voice, [and] with the churches,” she said.
Addressing Wednesday’s post-Cabinet press briefing at Jamaica House, Morris Dixon said grooming in schools is a perennial issue.
“There are a couple of things we have to balance. We have to balance order, something that we struggle with as a country, and we have to ensure that order is maintained in our educational institutions,” she stated.
