Since the start of the school year, several acts of violence have made the headlines, particularly at École secondaire des Échos in Vaudreuil-Dorion.
Gangs, fights between students, threats to staff - in short, the situation has parents and students worried.
On Friday, Education Minister Bernard Drainville presented his Violence and Bullying Prevention Plan.
The plan, which comes with a budget of $30 million over five years, has four main thrusts, aimed at documenting, training, raising awareness and supporting both students and school staff in the face of rising violence.
More than a dozen measures will be implemented "to develop the social and emotional skills" of students. These measures include the standardization of schools' anti-violence and anti-bullying plans, and the addition of mandatory content at primary and secondary levels.
