Safe to learn: what do teachers think and do about violence in schools?

This study presents the results of a survey of around 35,000 teachers (81% of whom were from Latin America) conducted for a UNESCO study as part of the Safe to Learn initiative to end violence in schools. 

The aim was to find out how teachers view violence in schools, what they do to address it, and whether they think they have the necessary skills and support to help them prevent and respond to school violence. It is intended to increase awareness of teachers’ perspectives and to encourage education policy-makers, teacher training institutions and school management to take action to ensure that teachers are well equipped to prevent and address school violence.
