Measures on ensuring safety of pupils to be taken by the order of Tatarstan President

President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov gave assignment to relevant authorities to immediately take measures on ensuring safety of pupils of pre-school institutions on their way home and to educational institutions. The assignment was given in connection with two tragic events which happened in February in Naberezhnye Chelny and Elabuga.

A schoolgirl of the 2nd form Vasilisa Galitsina became the victim of a violator in Naberezhnye Chelny. In Elabuga a schoolgirl of the 8th form suffered violation and was left dying in snow.

By the order of Tatarstan President relevant letters were sent to heads of municipal regions, authorities and commissions for emergency situations.

In particular, meetings with parents and employees of local authorities must be held at pre-school, general and additional educational institutions without delay.

The issue of assigning adult relatives, members of parents’ committees or volunteers to every child must be worked out. The scheme of emergency communication with parents will also be discussed.

Special lessons to explain how to behave oneself in extreme situations will be held at schools.
