Following the mass shooting at Prague’s Charles University in December, Slovak universities are looking for ways to increase security.
Comenius University Bratislava hosts meetings with security experts to explore security tactics. New controls have already been installed at the entrances to your building, and there will be more to come.
“Currently, we are exploring further steps and meeting with experts in order to set security measures reasonably. In addition to technical and communication measures, trainings on how to behave in crisis situations should also be included in them,” stated Barbora Tancerová from the univesity’s communication department. She added that preventative measures, especially in regards to mental health, will be an important part of the plan as well.
The Slovak University of Technology (STU) is planning an audit of the protection measures and procedures in place in its buildings and workplaces. Changes will be made based on the results.
“This will be accompanied by a re-evaluation of measures to prevent potential threats from the outside, such as barriers, highways, camera systems, as well as measures for potential internal hazards, such as increased life-saving care and counseling,” Juraj university spokesperson said. “The dangers may not be fully reversed, even if all measures were implemented,” Rybanský said.
The Secretary of State for Education (i. e. the Deputy Minister), Róbert Zsembera, said that his ministry will see to it that universities identify new security measures.
“We are aware that some measures require funding, which is why we plan to announce a call in the first part of 2024,” Zsembera said, adding that the aim of the call would be the protection and intellectual fitness of university students.
