It is very unfortunate that one more child lost his life in a school bus due to negligence of the bus attendant. All the more shocking is the fact that it happened in Dubai, an emirate that has high standards of safety and security in place.
I am certain that authorities will investigate this incident and introduce strict surveillance system. It is important that we monitor each and every pupil who uses the school and private transport. Little lives are precious, they must be protected from harm.
