Jamaican PM Holness to address school violence with social strategies

Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness has underscored that the issue of violence in schools extends beyond the confines of educational institutions, labeling it a “social problem” that requires multifaceted responses from his government.

Holness emphasized the necessity of employing various social intervention strategies and programs to address the rising incidence of deadly confrontations among students.

During a recent meeting with Custos of Manchester Garfield Green, Holness articulated his stance on the matter, highlighting the inadequacy of solely relying on security-oriented solutions.
