Educational strategies to reduce the phenomenon of school violence

Abstract

School violence represents one of the most common social forms of crimes against children and the
most common within society. This is mainly due to the relationship between this age group and the
school, as most children spend this age stage of their lives within the walls of the school, and most of
what they are exposed to and affected by is either... Because of it or as a result of it, and also due to the
relationship of this social system (school) with the rest of the other systems in society that are often
under its influence .
This phenomenon takes many forms within the school environment, the severity and degree of its
impact on the child’s psychological and social life varying from one form to another. Among the most
prominent and common of these forms we find physical, psychological and sexual violence .
The prevalence of these forms of violence within a child’s school life is due to a group of factors and
reasons that lead to their occurrence. These reasons may be either individual or family reasons and
factors, or even from within the school environment itself.
The spread of this phenomenon and its great threat to the school space has made educational actors
think and search seriously for effective solutions that can protect the school and school life as a whole
from its dangers and repercussions, by proposing some educational solutions and realistic and field
strategies that prevent falling into the pitfalls of the phenomenon, which are strategies that emanate
from the heart of the space. School education, which was adopted as experiments within some schools
that witnessed the emergence of waves of violence in Europe and America in particular, led to some
positive results, making them models or experiences that can be emulated .
