Work TO” TURN THE BULLY AROUND”
The minister also cited the Character and Citizenship (CCE ) curriculum, which teaches students how to handle disagreements politely and resist bullying in his response on Monday.
He added that educators and school counselors even offer emotional support to individuals who have been bullied, whether they have been victims or perpetrators, as well as group solutions for those still in need.  ,
According to Mr. Chan, the goal of these academic and therapeutic work is to help students learn from their errors.  ,
” These efforts are taken to change the thug around, rather than just’ expelling’ or suspending them from school”, he added.  ,
When relationships are affected due to conflicts and wrongdoing, schools and institutions take steps to teach, control, and reestablish connections in the college area.
Parents ‘ support and collaboration are also required as they are critical in shaping children’s personality, he added.  ,
Parents are advised to stay calm and offer emotional support when a baby is facing bullying.
Also, when a baby has bullied one, parents can link their child to learn from the error, sorry respectfully, and make amends, Mr Chan said.  ,
However, teachers are trained to create a favorable class culture, recognise disturbed students, and proactively address harsh behaviours and bullying.
All pre-service faculty receive this teaching, and fresh teachers are supported by knowledgeable staff and school advisers, said Mr Chan.
As part of their specialized development, teachers who are already teaching also receive guide training.
When a abuse event occurs either inside or outside of a school, comprehensive studies are conducted before , choosing the appropriate course of action.
According to Mr. Chan, the Ministry of Education ( MOE ) uses a tiered approach to bullying cases, depending on the nature of the incident.
For instance, in situations arising from careless remarks and errors, teachers guide individuals to resolve their differences and achieve a common knowledge.  ,
In cases that involve consistent, intentional acts of harassment, severe disciplinary actions are taken in addition to the therapeutic actions.  ,
Additionally, schools advise students to contact the important online service providers when they are concerned about cyberbullying.
Mr. Chan emphasized that the severity of the event, the account and requirements of the learners involved are all taken into account when taking disciplinary actions.  ,
Institutions may place the offender in a detention center or even have them revoke their licenses to go to school.  ,
Males are only allowed to do it by approved adults, he continued, and punishment is only a last resort.  ,
A police statement will be produced for serious verbal abuse or battles, and those who commit them will be subject to legal action in accordance with the law.
Mr. Chan promised that MOE will continue to collaborate with schools to evaluate the tactics used to combat abuse.  ,
” We will keep updating these education and treatment measures and working with parents to provide our students with loving and secure learning environments.”
