Episode 16: Safe and Inclusive Learning Environments - Can there be safety without inclusivity? 5h4c1k

There have been numerous bullying incidents among students, both within and outside learning environments. More often than not, students receive little to no in dealing with these cases, leading to unfortunate consequences such as students quitting school, particularly those in boarding schools in which many of them come from lower income families, and in the worst cases, suicide. The Ministry of Education has shown a commitment to addressing bullying in schools, but what is lacking? Are there gaps between the Ministry's commitment to addressing bullying and the actual implementation on the ground? In this episode of GOSSIP, we invited Adibah Khalil, a filmmaker from Kualitea Productions and a former boarding school student, along with Eeyeng Lim, a former Senior Programmes Associate from Architects of Diversity, to dig deeper into the questions surrounding safe and inclusive learning environments. Our main question is: what are we not doing enough, and most importantly, can there be safety without inclusivity? *NOTE: Views presented by the speakers are their own personal opinions and do not necessarily represent the views of KRYSS Network, or the organizations or institutions they are d with. 1a4j2k
