When a child feels safe and protected, he or she is more likely to learn. In Uganda, corporal punishment is outlawed, but it is nonetheless routinely used; 90 percent of children say they first witnessed physical violence from a teacher at school. Many teachers and parents believe that using violence to enforce discipline is necessary, although it has a significant detrimental impact on learning and a child’s well-being.
We collaborate with teachers and schools to promote alternative positive discipline methods based on mutual respect and participation, as well as to establish children’s councils to devise more effective and appropriate disciplinary measures. Other forms of violence in schools, including as sexual abuse and bullying, are also monitored and addressed in collaboration with schools, government, and local communities.
