Schools take necessary actions to address bullying
May 18, 2007
WE thank the letter writers who had provided feedback to The New Paper on dealing with bullying in schools.
We wish to assure them that bullying in schools is regarded as a serious matter.
Our schools put effort into minimising such problems and ensuring a safe school environment for all our students.
During their growing years, children are learning about themselves and how to form healthy relationships with others.
Schools seek to guide them and help them understand that bullying is wrong. They also seek to equip students with the skills to handle challenging situations, and encourage them to seek help whenever necessary.
Schools also investigate all incidents of bullying and work to resolve them quickly.
Depending on the seriousness of the offence, they use counselling, mediation and/or disciplinary measures to educate and correct students on their misbehaviour.
The Ministry of Education is significantly enhancing counselling resources in schools.
We have provided secondary schools with full-time school counsellors. All primary schools and junior colleges/centralised institutes will have such counsellors by the end of 2008.
Other than school counsellors, most secondary schools have teachers who are Honorary Volunteer Special Constabulary Officers with the skills to conduct investigations into bullying cases.
Parents are schools' key partners in education.
Our schools value their support in inculcating in their children the need to respect and make friends with their peers, and in resolving problems.
Parents who have feedback about their children are advised to approach the school leader to discuss their views.
Such mutual support between parents and the school will help the children better learn from their experiences.
Our schools are committed to high standards of discipline. They will continue to take proactive measures in addressing discipline issues, and keep striving for improvement.


とは「いじめ事件の調査を行う技術を備えた特別な先生｣で学生生活一般を扱う｢学生相談員｣とは別に任命されている。シンガポールもいじめが吹き荒れているようだ。　
｢いじめ専門特別警官」と言うのが実情に合っているようだ。

もとの文に戻って、訳してみると

In a bit to extend the disciplining arm of the law into schools, Singapore police have begun selecting teachers to be made Honorary Volunteer Special Constabulary Officers.
