Johannesburg - The Congress of SA Students (Cosas) announced its
plans yesterday to initiate the formation of a junior reserve police
force to monitor and prevent violence in schools.
Cosas president Lebogang Maile said the congress will approach
the safety and security ministry to ask for training for students to
become "police informers".
The informers will report any potential criminal behaviour by fellow
students and will operate in secret to avoid harassment.
Maile said an anti-crime meeting will be organised by Cosas at the
beginning of next year to address the issue of violence in schools.
