Violence in and around schools, including bullying, physical attacks and physical fights, undermines learning and has negative physical and mental health consequences. No country can achieve inclusive and equitable quality education if learners experience violence in school.
This short report presents, for the first time, a summary of the latest and most comprehensive evidence on the scale nature, drivers and consequences of school violence and bullying. It draws on multiple data sources and, in particular, on two largescale international surveys, the Global School-based Student Health Survey and Health Behaviour in School aged Children study – which together provide data from 144 countries and territories in all regions of the world.
A full version of this report will be available in 2019 and will provide further comprehensive data on school violence and bullying, including an analysis of effective responses and case studies from selected countries.
