The Department of School Resources Management is committed to create a secure environment in all schools. A Committee was set up to examine the problem and make relevant suggestions regarding the safeguard of security in schools. A pilot study was carried out in eight schools, resulting in a common base line. The department is presently working in implementing the recommendations in order to ensure a higher level of security in all state schools. A pilot programme for security has been initially conducted in three schools, Guze' Galea Boys' Secondary School, Qormi, St Sebastian Primary School, Qormi, and Dun Karm Psaila Boys' Secondary School, Zebbug. Three items were introduced, CCTV, hall-porter and ‘antiporta' with electric lock. Laminated glass was installed in the security doors. This programme is to be conducted in other schools as necessary.
