Delhi school sealed after sexual assault. A brutal indictment of neglected child safety and broken oversight.
FO Take · Score 10
Another institution fails its most vulnerable. Schools, once sacrosanct, are now battlegrounds for basic safety. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a symptom of systemic negligence. We fetishise academic metrics while children face peril. Education cannot thrive where fear reigns supreme. When will safeguarding be more than a tick-box exercise?
The strongest counter
While horrific, this is a rare occurrence. Most schools are safe havens, and singling out one incident obscures the broader positive impact of formal education. Reactive measures are necessary, but blanket condemnation is unhelpful.
