dc.description.abstractOne of the concerns of the Ministry of Education Youth and Information (MoEYI) is the continued exposure of children to violence, especially when this violence occurs in the school environment and in other spaces where they should have been protected. The Ministry is cognizant of the need to create an environment that will reduce the vulnerability to violence that children experience and create safer learning environments that will facilitate the cognitive and emotional development of children and youth. The partnership with the USAID, the USAID/MoEYI Partnership for Improved Safety and Security in Schools project is a response to initiate and implement effective strategies to curtail the exposure of children and youths to violence. The strategies employed under the project will initiate the process of behaviours modification that will result in the reduction of anti-social and violent behaviours among youths and provide opportunities for parents to develop positive parenting practices. The Partnership for Safety and Security in Schools project was segmented into six (6) interrelated components:  The reduction of violence and critical incidence among youths in schools and communities islandwide.  The reduction of anti-social behaviours among youths and students through the implementation of behaviour modification programmes.  The engagement and education of parents, communities, and the wider society in the behaviour modification process through the establishment of parent places.  The provision of co-curricular through uniformed groups, sporting activities, and behaviour modification camps to allow youths and students to be fully engaged, build social and life skills, reduce dysfunctional behaviours, and improve school performance.  Conduct on-going monitoring, evaluation, and data collection on existing and new safety and security programmes. Analyze data and provide reports to inform project decisions on safety and security sustainability activities in schools.  Capacity building in the MoEYI and its agencies, FBOs and CBOs to facilitate sustainability of the initiatives.
