The Ministry of Education is pleased to announce the implementation of enhanced security measures at the Harrison Center of the Antigua and Barbuda Institute of Continuing Education (ABICE).
These measures are designed to prioritize the safety and well-being of all students, faculty, and staff.
In light of recent global and regional trends, the Ministry has undertaken a comprehensive review of security protocols at educational institutions.
At the Harrison Center, students entering the facility are properly searched using metal detecting wands by trained security personnel and upgraded access control procedures.
The Hon. Daryll Matthew, Minister of Education, emphasized the importance of creating a secure learning environment, stating, “The safety of our students is non- negotiable.
Education can only thrive in an atmosphere of peace and security. These new measures at ABICE reaffirm our commitment to providing a safe space where students can focus on their personal and professional development without fear or distraction.”
The Ministry of Education extends its appreciation to the management and staff of ABICE for their collaboration and dedication to the safety of students.
These measures reflect the government’s unwavering commitment to fostering secure, inclusive, and supportive educational environments that empower students to succeed.

WONDERFUL NEWS 👏
Stay safe. Absorb all the knowledge and skills you can
The home of all former gang members, a disaster waiting to happen.
@Fromer gangster. Fromer? It sounds like you could use some further education!
INTERESTING: …IN LIGHT OF GLOBAL TREND…? …WHAT THE HELL…?
Though plasters are never applied for the purpose of ‘…HEALING WOUNDS,’ from a professional perspective, this is ‘…HIGHLY COMMENDABLE.’
HOWEVER:
To suggest that the ‘SECURITY MEASURE’ was prompted: ‘…IN LIGHT OF GLOBAL TREND’ [Paragraph 3], not only appears most inconsistent with ‘…FACTS AND TRUTH.’
WHY:
(i) ‘…The student body know, that with the ‘ADMISSION’ of a particular member among the ‘…STUDENT BODY: and
(ii) …With the unrecovered: ‘…DEADLY WEAPON,’ still remains unconfirmed, but a suggested ‘…POLICE-ISSUED SERVICE FIREARM,’ fear and uneasiness among:
(a) ‘…EDUCATORS: and
(b) …STUDENT BODY,’ could never be easily eliminated by merely scanning the person, and ‘…Textbook Bags’ of students.
Still a ‘…MINISTERIAL MOVE’ in the right direction.
***
QUESTIONS:
NON-NEGOTIABLE SAFETY [Paragraph 5]:
Facetiously; (i) ‘…Is the Minister anticipating ‘…STUDENT HOSTAGE TAKING? and
(ii) ‘…What idiocy may exist in a student to have concealed upon his person or in a school bag, queuing up at a ‘…Security Check-point to be: (a) ‘…Scanned: and (b) …Searched?’
***
ADDITIONALLY: …ONE STEP AHEAD:
At any ‘…Tool-Using Industrial School,’ with students’ required access to ‘…PARTICULAR TOOLS,’ authorities may also wish to devise other ‘…SAFETY MEASURES’ that shall not be disclosed, for further enhancing ‘…SCHOOL SAFETY.’ Most desirable, has always been a training environment, ‘…CONDUCIVE’ only to ‘…LEARNING.’

Are those from those I donated to the police?
It’s known with certainty, that [any] object, to include your fingers (to poke one’s eyes out) can be used, as a #weapon in any altercation – Bruce Lee style.
The only weapon that could be used to inflict bodily harm on a person which is not readily available in the institution is a [gun]. From water to pencils can be ‘weaponised.’
While the Ministry of Education must be commended for addressing the issue or probability, of violence amongst the students, the WEAPONS are not the major issue, in this equation. The mindset/mentality through indoctrinations, molding from lived #habits and #norms are what must be addressed to bring semblance, to what is being perceived, as an “International Trend.”
Research and statistics have shown, that this is a false notion, since, such behavioural traits exist in higher percentages in some communities and cultures versus others.
…#habits, become Norms!
…#norms, become A Way Of Life!
…#a_way_of_life, defines a People!
…#a people, defines a Kulcha! CHA!

Wow we don’t even have this level of security at the various court buildings in Antigua but this school gets metal detectors? Those gangsters must be really violent.
They need to put this in all schools to keep other children safe especially Clare hall school . A child carried a gun to school already
