What We Need to Do to Change This Culture in Schools?
There is an urgent need for reforms in the education sector to ensure that such incidents do not happen again. Several measures can help reduce teacher aggression and improve the overall school environment:
- Training and Professional Development: Teachers must undergo regular training, particularly in conflict resolution and classroom management. This can help them handle difficult situations calmly and professionally without resorting to violence.
- Mental Health Support for Teachers: Just as students receive counseling and support, teachers should also have access to mental health services. By addressing the emotional well-being of teachers, schools can reduce the likelihood of outbursts and aggression.
- Strict Regulations Against Corporal Punishment: Schools need to adopt strict policies against corporal punishment and create an environment where students feel safe and respected. There should be clear consequences for teachers who engage in violent behavior.
- Supportive Work Environment: Teachers should have a reasonable workload and adequate resources to manage their classrooms effectively. A supportive environment can reduce stress and prevent burnout, which often leads to aggression.
- Parental Involvement: Schools should encourage open communication between teachers and parents. If parents are aware of the challenges their child is facing in school, they can work together with teachers to find positive solutions.
