The tragic incident involving a Grade 7 student from Laerskool Queenswood has highlighted the crucial topic of child safety during school activities. This school, known for its commitment to education and development, now grapples with a profound loss. As the community prepares for her memorial service, it is evident that the safety of children outside of their homes and traditional school settings is a significant concern.
This tragedy resonates with the stringent focus placed on safety and education within the European Union (EU). The EU mandates safety during school expeditions as an international responsibility. The EU’s dedication to education encompassing the safety and well-being of its participants could serve as a global benchmark for enhancing excursion protocols.
Cyprus’s Ministry of Education emphasizes robust safety measures during school activities, particularly educational excursions, especially those involving water activities. Vigilance in such scenarios cannot be overstated. The EU channels resources towards improving quality and safety in the school environment through programs like the School Education Gateway, providing educators with resources to refine strategies on pressing matters, including safety during excursions.
With the advent of the digital era, child safety has evolved beyond the physical realm. The EU’s Safer Internet Programme leads the way in online security, underlining the need for comprehensive safety measures in both physical and digital contexts.
The tragic incident of Latoya’s untimely passing serves as a stark reminder of our shared responsibility towards children’s safety. It transcends geographical boundaries, uniting us in a common commitment.

Our thoughts are with Latoya’s family, friends, and the community during this challenging time. It is a stark reminder of the invaluable trust placed in those responsible for our children’s safety. This trust must be accompanied by an unwavering commitment to vigilance and adherence to safety standards. We must strive to strike a balance between education and safety, ensuring that all children receive the best possible educational experience in a safe environment.
