(haipo) - Personal safety - last Thursday, 04/04/23, in the middle school of the sixth-year urban school (known as the lower) a dangerous incident took place, which miraculously ended without disaster.
At 12:35, when a bus arrived at the station, one of the students pushed another student onto the road. From the letter of the principal of Zabar Shamir Middle School, it appears that the student who was pushed onto the road, fell near the arrival of the bus and the bus almost hit his head. Shamir also stated in his letter to the parents that the student was only injured by the fall on the road but not by the bus. He did not even need medical treatment after the incident.
The security guards invited MDA
"At the scene, the school's safety instructor and security guards from the municipality of Haifa were present, as they do every day, in order to maintain the safety and security of the passengers. As a result of the panic and the fear that the student, who was pushed, might be injured, they also called the MDA, but as mentioned, the student did not need for treatment beyond calming him down."
Dangerous congestion in stations and buses
The representative of the parents' council claims that for several years now he has been warning that the number of buses allocated for dispersing the students is not enough, and that as a result a dangerous load has been created at the stations and on the buses themselves. "The writing is on the wall and a serious injury is only a matter of time. Unfortunately, inquiries to the Ministry of Transportation and the municipality were answered by transferring responsibility from one to the other."
The parents explain to Lahi Pa that during the return from the city school there are shuttles on several designated lines:
"Since the beginning of the year, a large number of students have been trying to get on the buses. The problem is on all the lines and not on a particular line. The busiest line is towards Ahoza, but not by a large margin. In the mornings there is no problem because everyone gets on at their own stop.
The problem is with the buses from the school, when 100 students are standing and trying to get home. There are days when the load is greater. Usually the most problematic days are Sundays and Fridays. The congestion is created in the middle school, in the bottom. Sometimes the bus does not stop in the high school, in the upper, because of the congestion from the bottom.
There are cases when the bus does not stop at the bottom, because the driver sees the amount of children and the chaos prevailing at the bus stop, but this does not happen often. On Friday, because of the problem that occurred on Thursday, the buses arrived earlier and the middle school principal went out to the buses.
Letter to the Ministry of Transportation
According to the parents, the problem has been going on for years and is not being treated. They sent a letter to the Ministry of Transportation detailing the problem. In the reply letter, which they received from the Ministry of Transportation, it is claimed that the person in charge of planning transportation for school students is the Haifa Municipality. The parents remove that when they contact the municipality, they are directed to the Ministry of Transportation, and when they contact the Ministry of Transportation, they are directed to the municipality.
I finished the fifth hour at 12:35 and witnessed the event. There were security guards, there always are, but the fifth and fourth hours are simply busy and crowded. I don't understand what you are talking about with the iron railings? The buses can run until we reach them, a really bad and unnecessary idea. Need more buses! And it's never a joke, everyone pushes to get on the bus and find a seat, children fight for a seat so they don't have to stand on the bus. It's not a joke, it's a competition.
Why are there no security guards at the station?
Another mayor is needed.
And a child should be pushed to the road.
not the same thing
Really, and maybe it was in the game and laughs section, but the pushy student has to do service work at the Levinstein house
And your connection to all layers
A problem for years that Bihas and the municipality disclaim responsibility
Iron railings must be installed on the sidewalk as there are in a central station. Good Morning
Iron railings are needed on the sidewalk as there are in a central station.
