​
After declaring the Guidelines on the Safety and Security of all the students and School Personnel who are Drivers and Motorcycle Riders by the Department of Education to all public schools last July 16, 2019, many people from Quezon National High School are in favor in the memorandum.
The Memorandum contains wearing a standard protective helmet at all times when driving and strictly required to secure a driver’s license according to Section 19 of Republic Act No. 4136.
“Benefits din naman ng mga riders yun na katulad ko at para sa kaligtasan naman nila ito so nakakatulong ito sa mga riders.” Said by Joco Racelis, student from Special Program In Journalism and a motorcycle rider.
Any learner or student found violating the Guidelines will be subject to intervention or disciplinary action by the concerned school authorities.
“Maayos na rin yon kase sa panahon ngayon marami ng pasaway na mga driver e, kaya wala talaga silang magagawa kung hindi ang sumunod.” Joco Racelis added.
Jayem Estoya, a student-driver from QNHS also said that the guidelines can help them having a safe, secure and assurance in driving.
Private schools are encouraged to include the said guidelines to their respective Student’s Manual and Employee’s Manual.
