SCHOOLCHILDREN WILL BE UNDER CLOSER WATCH by education and Transport Board officials as videos of violent fights continue to be posted on the internet.

Yesterday, Minister of Education Ronald Jones revealed that the two entities had joined forces to monitor the travelling schoolchildren. The move followed a public outcry after the latest round of fight scenes on social media, one of them in the Fairchild Street Bus Terminal, along with two rock throwing incidents on buses.
