The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on Tuesday called on the Philippine National Police (PNP) to consult and work with the Department of Education (DepEd) in protecting children in educational settings amid the series of violent incidents in schools.
"The Committee on the Rights of the Children, in its General Comment No. 14 , underscored the need to satisfy the State's obligation by appropriately integrating and consistently applying the framework of the child's best interest in all matters that may directly or indirectly impact them," the CHR said in a statement.
The CHR noted that in 2021, the DepEd released a statement discouraging the presence of armed police in schools. Nevertheless, the commission believed that these policies, together with consultations, provide the necessary means to foster a setting conducive to child development and learning.
