Students will come prepared
with bodyguards for school
Weird Asia News
South Korean
students who have trouble with school bullies can soon call on the government
to provide them with bodyguards.
South Korea
plans to start a trial service next month to cut down on school violence. As a
part of that, it will provide personal protection for those bullied students
who seek it as they travel to and from school, an official said on Tuesday.
“We are
going to try to protect the student who is being bullied and find out who is
doing the bullying,” said Park Jung-hee, an education ministry official.
Bullying is
a serious problem in South Korea’s school system, where victims have committed
suicide and corporal punishment of students by teachers is allowed by law and
commonplace.
The
bodyguard service is one facet of the ministry’s policy to curb school violence
that also includes counselling and increased training for educators.
