“Schools are not always the safe space they should be to allow children to learn and thrive.”
Global Partnership for Education’s blog looks at violence in schools:
“Violence in schools is a serious issue across Africa. Nearly a third of children on the continent experience physical or sexual attacks in educational settings. Children, and girls in particular, are at high risk of sexual violence at school, including the most egregious types of sexual violence. And as access to technology increases, so does the risk of online bullying and abuse.”
To end the violence, some initiatives are mentioned:
“In Sierra Leone, for example, a systemic approach to preventing violence coupled with a radical inclusion policy in education is paving the way for safer schools.”
