Plan believes that every child has the right to a safe school environment. Our vision is of a world where children can go to school in safety and learn without fear or threats of violence.

If we are seriously to address the issues of school drop-outs and improve school enrolment, we have to ensure that our children learn that violence is never allowed and that they can lead their lives in non-violent ways too.

In this confusing world, people tend to cast aside good manners and ethical values... For that reason and given the crisis that the country is facing, we must join together and do our best to rescue those values.

Working together with teachers' unions can help us to increase political pressure on governments to improve living and working conditions of teachers, which are often at the root of frustration and physical and verbal aggression against children.

I am very happy with this training because it gives us a lot to fight against cases of violence that are common in our communities.

Expecting to stop school violence without addressing its root causes is like equipping a school with computers but no electricity.
