Workshop to deal with vandalism in school

Mumbai: While activists and government bodies have set up countless organisations to combat violence against children, vandalism in schools and the resulting fear that spreads amongst staff, has rarely found a voice.

In order to help heads of educational institutions deal with vandalism, both by political parties as well as individuals, Coffeetable, a support group for principals set up by the Counsellor’s Association of India (CAI’s), is organising a workshop for principals and counsellors where they can share their own experiences and learn how to handle a mob in the classroom. The workshop will be held on September 16 at St Xavier’s Academy in Marine Lines. Minister of state for higher education Suresh Shetty will be present at the workshops.

For details on the workshop, contact coffeetablemumbai@yahoo.in or call Adelaide Vaz 22014666 or Harish Shetty on 9820032178. TNN
