The Attorney General and the Minister of Education also addressed the issue of increased violence among youths, public fights among students, and the protection of school property. The A.G. noted that the law addressing the treatment of youthful criminals is already in place. He will ensure that the Boys’ Training School receives all the attention necessary to bring it back on stream shortly, such that those who are intent on creating mayhem can be restrained. The Cabinet agreed that the recalcitrant boys lack certain social skills; hence, emphasis will be placed on teaching those skills to the resident boys. The AG encourages parents to pay far more attention to their youthful charges than is now taking place.
