The educator, who was intercepted while on his way to work, sustained a superficial wound to one of his knees during the attack.<\/p>\n\n<p>Yesenia Concepci\u00f3n Soto, director of the center, confirmed that Batista is in stable condition and resting as necessary. In addition, the teacher has received the relevant authorizations to manage the recovery of his personal documents and bank cards, which were stolen by the antisocials during the incident.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Demand for increased surveillance<\/h2>\n\n<p>Given the seriousness of the events, the authorities of the National Police, Educational Security, and the School Police conducted an assessment at the school. During this meeting, a commitment was made to intensify patrols during critical arrival and departure times, with the goal of protecting the integrity of students as well as teaching and administrative staff.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Actually, we are a bit frightened by that situation, the community is also worried.<\/p><cite>Yesenia Concepci\u00f3n Soto, director of the educational center.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A history of vulnerability<\/h2>\n\n<p>The school administration&#8217;s concern is not an isolated incident. According to Concepci\u00f3n Soto, support staff who begin their duties at 6:00 a.m. have been frequent targets of robberies. The principal recalled previous incidents, such as the one that occurred at the end of the school year, when an individual on a motorcycle entered the premises under false pretenses to snatch a teacher&#8217;s cell phone.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevention measures and pending requests<\/h2>\n\n<p>To address crime, the school has implemented its own security measures, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Improvement of the lighting system in perimeter areas.<\/li><li>Installation of surveillance cameras for internal monitoring.<\/li><li>Formalization of constant complaints to security agencies.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Despite these efforts, the educational center insists on the urgent need to have a School Police officer assigned on a permanent basis and a night watchman for security. Although formal requests have been made on multiple occasions, the educational community of the Tom\u00e1s Taveras Mandinga School reiterates its call to the authorities for these protection measures to be permanent and effective, guaranteeing a safe environment for the teaching-learning process.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Insecurity in Cancino II: Teacher is victim of assault near the Tom\u00e1s Taveras Mandinga School The educational community of the Tom\u00e1s Taveras Mandinga School, located in the Cancino II sector of Santo Domingo Este, is on high alert following the violent assault suffered by teacher Domingo Batista.
