FWCF calls for enhanced anti-violence interventions in schools

Fresh calls are mounting for strengthened anti-violence interventions in the nation’s schools.

This time the appeal comes from advocacy group, Fi We Children Foundation (FWCF) following recent reports of two violent incidents involving school children.

The latest matter which occurred yesterday in St.Thomas resulted in the stabbing death of a Seaforth High School male student.

His alleged attacker is also from the institution where an earlier dispute reportedly developed.

Three pupils are in police custody in relation to the incident.

In response, FWCF’s Executive Founder, Africka Stephens described the situation as tragic and expressed deep concern about how the nation’s children are struggling to peacefully resolve conflicts with their peers.

She also noted that this incident reflects a broader and troubling trend.

Ms. Stephens pointed out that recordings of students engaging in fights or experiencing bullying continue to circulate widely on social media via TikTok and IG Reels highlighting what she called the growing normalization of violence among youth.

She is urging the Education Ministry’s Guidance and Counselling Department to expand the use of evidence-based interventions including FWCF’s “Mek Wi Reason” training curriculum and Safe School Toolkit.

Ms.Stephens said these resources are designed to equip educators and students with practical skills in conflict resolution, mediation and fostering a culture of respect and dignity within school communities.
