The Diocesan Commission for Justice and Peace in Bangladesh’s Rajshahi diocese held a seminar last week to train teachers how to make children feel safer in schools.
“Teachers have to be conscious about caring for children because they are the future generation and the future of our Church,” said Italian priest Dino Giacominelli, parish priest of Saint Fabrice’s Church.
He said the family, society, and the school play a role in the well-being of children.
Father Sagor Corraya, convener of the Peace and Justice Commission of the diocese, “child abuse and protection” are “hot topics in today’s world.”
“It is the moral responsibility of every teacher and school staff to ensure that children are not subjected to physical, mental, emotional and sexual harassment in the family, in school, and even in other places,” said the priest.
He said everyone needs to keep an eye on the “do’s and don’ts of children in school.”
