`schools`

Manila City has announced a new ‘schools safety initiative’ that introduces stricter disciplinary measures, including potential expulsion for students involved in serious offenses. This policy was recently implemented across public schools in the city. While this policy is specific to Manila, it is a significant development in Metro Manila’s education landscape and could influence policies in neighboring cities like Quezon City. QC parents and students should be aware of this as it sets a precedent for stricter school safety measures in the region. The initiative primarily targets serious offenses within school grounds, but the specific list of offenses and detailed procedural guidelines are yet to be widely disseminated. Residents seeking more information should monitor announcements from the Manila City Government and the Department of Education (DepEd) Manila.
