Sleman authorities mandate student and parent commitments to prevent violence

The Sleman Regency Government is implementing new measures to combat juvenile delinquency, violence, and radicalism among students. Under the Sleman Regent's Instruction, students and their parents or guardians are required to sign a formal commitment letter.

This commitment pledges that students will avoid involvement in violence, bullying, brawls, the possession of weapons, drug abuse, and alcohol consumption. Additionally, students are expected to reject radicalism and intolerance while using social media responsibly. Parents are tasked with increasing supervision and maintaining communication with schools to monitor their children's development.

Mustadi, Head of the Sleman Education Office, stated that the goal is to produce students who are not only academically capable but also possess strong character and morals. Schools have been instructed to record which students have signed these statements and report the data to the Education Office to facilitate monitoring of potential student gangs or groups.
