The Ministry of Education and Research has taken the matter into its own investigation into the death of the boy from Bubuieci. If the existence of bullying and the lack of appropriate measures by the institution are confirmed, disciplinary sanctions will be applied, IPN reports.
Representatives of the ministry went to the scene and talked with teachers at the institution where the pupil was studying. Discussions will also be organized with parents and students immediately after their return from vacation.
The case will also be referred to the Ethics Committee for examination and, if necessary, a proposal will be made to withdraw the managerial and teaching grade of the persons responsible.
The Ministry reaffirms its commitment to preventing and combating violence in the school environment by strengthening intervention mechanisms, training teachers and holding institutional management accountable.
The municipal authorities, likewise, have taken action following the tragic incident in Bubuieci. "We are responsibly analyzing all the relevant information and are working closely with the authorities to clarify the circumstances," said the General Directorate of Education, Youth and Sport of the Chisinau City Hall.
According to the Directorate, the administration of the high school has implemented measures for the safety of students, including their supervision, enforcement of internal regulations and organization of risk prevention activities.
