Private school in Tiruppur introduces sticker on child safety to educate students
The HinduKMC Public Senior Secondary School, a private educational institution in Tiruppur district, has introduced a stationery box sticker focused on child safety. Speaking on the initiative, the school’s Secretary-cum-Senior Principal, C. S. Manoharan, who is also the president of the Tamil Nadu CBSE Schools Management Association, said, “In today’s times, when child safety issues are on the rise, it is pertinent for schools and society to educate children on what accounts for their safety. With the sticker on their pencil and stationery boxes, they can be reminded of the lesson frequently.” The sticker has been designed with a bright yellow background to capture children’s attention, as many are found to be fans of Chennai Super Kings, a cricket team in the Indian Premier League. It features caricatures depicting ways children may respond to ‘bad touch.’ Alongside these illustrations is a prompt encouraging them to inform a trusted person if they find themselves in such situations.
