Violence In Educational Institutions: Causes, Forms And Remediation Strategies

Authors : Mimouni Kahina .

Abstract

The occurrence of violence within educational institutions stands as a prevalent and grave phenomenon, posing a significant threat not only to individuals, but also to families, communities, and the educational system itself. The escalating intensity and diverse array of violence within the educational environment have expanded its scope to a point of concern, giving rise to security apprehensions across our educational institutions. Today, we recognize the importance of addressing violence due to its linkage with a sensitive societal cohort – school students, predominantly in their adolescent years – who employ violence as a conduit for realizing and satiating their aggressive impulses, and we acknowledge violence’s intricate ties with the educational institutions, recognized as the secondary cornerstone of social cultivation and education following the family. Thus, this research paper aims at delving into the causes and forms of violence within educational institutions, while also exploring potential remedial strategies. The paper seeks to introduce the concept of educational violence, its prevalence, and the ways adopted by students to enact violence towards their peers on the one hand, and towards teachers and administration on the other.
