Vandalism, arson or theft of school infrastructure is a criminal act that undermines learners’ futures and must be strongly condemned.
Every such act diverts vital resources from expanding and improving education facilities to expensive repairs and rebuilding.
Citizens are urged to take collective responsibility in preventing and reporting crimes targeting schools.
The public is encouraged to report vandalism, theft and suspicious activities to Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
