According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Education of South Korea, the number of students in elementary, junior high and high schools who suffer from school violence has reached a new high in the past 10 years. The results of this survey have aroused widespread concern in the community, reflecting the seriousness of the problem of violence in South Korean schools.
With the increase in non-face-to-face classes due to the pandemic in 2020, fewer victims responded that they had experienced violence in schools. However, with the gradual resumption of face-to-face classes, the number of victims of school violence is on the rise again. This seems to reveal the negative impact of the pandemic on students' emotions and relationships.
According to the survey, school violence mainly includes verbal violence (371%), physical violence (173%) and collective exclusion (151%）。Of particular concern is the rise in physical violence, which may mean that the impact of the school environment on student development needs to be monitored. Among them, verbal violence is the majority, and physical violence is on the rise. Worryingly, primary school students have become the main victims of school violence, with the highest incidence of school violence in primary schools, where primary school students account for 39%, which is higher than in junior and senior high schools.
According to the school level, primary school students are the main victims of school violence, accounting for 39%, much higher than junior high school students (13%) and high school students (0.).4%）。This has led to a deep reflection on the campus environment of primary schools.
Kim Yeon-seok, director of the Ministry of Education's Responsible Education Policy Office, said the results of the survey will be an opportunity to improve the problem of school violence, and will work to ensure that the policies formulated are effective to protect the physical and mental health of students. This is not only the protection of students' rights and interests, but also a response to the entire social responsibility. This requires the joint efforts of all parties in society, not just a piece of policy, but also a deep reflection from the level of culture and system. We look forward to seeing a safer, warmer campus environment where every student can thrive in the sun.
The intensification of school violence in South Korea highlights concerns about students' mental health and the need for all sectors of society to work together to create a safe and harmonious Xi environment for students. It is also a wake-up call to the education system, which needs to start from the institutional and cultural levels and strive to create a school atmosphere of respect, understanding and tolerance.
