The PSL or the Personal Safety  Lessons is to be included in the regular curriculum of public and secondary schools in the country. This was ordered by the DepEd. They said this will help in preventing schoolchildren from being abused and this will certainly help them to become productive and healthy citizens of our country.

PSL will be integrated in Sibika at Kultura/Heograpiya, Kasaysayan at Sibika (SK/HEKASI) in the elementary level and Araling Panlipunan in the secondary level. It will also be included in the Character Education and Values Education classes whenever possible. Lessons are made in the context of the Filipino culture.

A team will be organized to support the schools that have cases of child abuse. This team will include representatives from DepEd, DSWD, local government unit, PNP and the DOJ.

They will be trained by the Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Sexual Abuse (CPTCSA) in order to ably handle child abuse disclosures and other violence in schools.The CPTCSA is a non-profit organization recognized as a leading agency in providing information and technology on child-centered prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse in schools.

This measure has been supported by various teacher’s groups. This will help many children especially those children who longer want to attend school because of their bad experiences. According to studies not only adults are the perpetrators but the children’s peers as well.
