CAGAYAN DE ORO — Following recent national concerns regarding school safety, the Department of Education in Northern Mindanao or DepEd-10 has officially implemented an integrated anti-bullying policy across Cagayan de Oro schools as of June 24, 2026. The initiative involves restructured child protection mechanisms and an enhanced psycho-social component to prevent campus violence. Education and police authorities are working in tandem to review and strengthen security protocols at the local school level.
Enhanced school security protocols protect students in classrooms
The city's educational institutions are now required to execute more rigorous monitoring systems to identify and address bullying early. This strategy prioritizes the emotional and physical well-being of the student population through proactive intervention techniques. By coordinating with local law enforcement, the schools ensure that safety measures are both practical and strictly enforced.
Community-based approach fosters safer learning environments for youth
The policy emphasizes a multi-sectoral responsibility, involving parents, local government units, and school administrators. Officials believe that this integrated framework creates a more supportive atmosphere for children and teenagers alike. Such measures demonstrate the city’s proactive dedication to public safety and student welfare within its educational sector.
