The safety of students is a critical concern for parents and educators alike. Recent reports on “Contact Crimes on Educational Premises” and “Murders on Educational Premises,” published by News24, paint a troubling picture of the safety challenges in South Africa’s brick-and-mortar schools. With incidents of violence, theft, and bullying on the rise, many parents are reconsidering traditional schooling options in favor of safer alternatives. Online schooling, with its controlled and secure learning environment, offers a compelling solution for today’s safety-conscious families.
Wingu Academy, a leader in online education, provides not only an innovative learning platform but also a haven of safety and stability for students. Let’s explore how online schooling can redefine safety in education and why Wingu Academy is at the forefront of this transformation.
The Reality of Brick-and-Mortar School Safety
South Africa’s educational premises are increasingly becoming sites of criminal activity. According to News24:
- Contact crimes, including assault, theft, and sexual offenses, are alarmingly frequent within school premises.
- Murders on educational premises have made headlines, underscoring the severity of the situation.
These statistics highlight the need for an urgent re-evaluation of how we ensure student safety. Traditional schools often lack the resources to implement robust safety measures, leaving children vulnerable.
Why Online Schooling is the Safer Alternative

Students can focus on their studies without fear of bullying, violence, or other threats. Wingu Academy’s virtual classrooms create a secure space for learning, monitored by experienced facilitators who foster a positive and respectful environment.
