Antiviolence task force formed

BOGOR (JP): A total of 15 principals from vocational high
schools in Bogor agreed on Wednesday to establish a task force at
each school to prevent rampant student brawls, drug problems and
vandalism.

"We agreed to establish this task force as we see growing
problems, such as the distribution of drugs in schools," Raan
Sumarna, the principal of SMK PGRI 2 Bogor, said.

Each task force will be monitored by several teachers, and
each teacher will be in charge of about 200 pupils, he said.

Teachers must watch for symptoms of troubled students, such as
drowsiness in class and emotional or aggressive behavior, he
said.

"We'll work together with parents as we want students to be
safe and free of problems," he added. (21/edt)
