Region Five Parents Join Anti-Bullying Session

On March 12, a virtual parental sensitization session titled “Together Against Bullying: Recognise, Prevent and Respond” was conducted for nursery-level parents in Region Five, with 127 parents participating.

Facilitated by officers of the NCERD Early Childhood Unit, Ms. Rajmattie Toolaram, Ms. Narinedai Singh, and Ms. Sandiya Samaroo, the session formed part of the Ministry of Education’s ongoing anti-bullying campaign and wider consultation efforts aimed at strengthening safe, respectful, and supportive learning environments across the country. Special remarks were delivered by Director of NCERD, Mrs. Ramdin, and ACEO – Nursery, Mr. Persaud.

The session focused on helping parents understand bullying, recognise warning signs, and learn practical ways to prevent and respond to it. Emphasis was also placed on the importance of Moral and Civic Education in instilling values such as respect, empathy, and responsibility in children from an early age.

Parents were encouraged to reinforce these values at home and work closely with schools, as the Ministry continues to engage stakeholders through its anti-bullying campaign and consultation sessions to address bullying and promote positive behaviour in schools.
