Abstract:
Violence by teachers towards students has been legally banned in 125 countries to upkeep the child's right of dignity, still millions of children are physically abused under the guise of discipline. There seems to be a gap between law and its enforcement. One of the reasons for the gap may be attributed to the acceptance of such violence by various stakeholders. The answer could be obtained from those who are directly involved as perpetrator (teachers) or victim (students) and those who might have bear the burn indirectly i.e. parents of latter. The present study is an attempt to review the status in Indian schools by adopting qualitative approach. Its extent has been studied in terms of prevalence, causes and consequences by using survey method and semi structured interviews with teachers, students and parents. The gravity of the issue has been presented by narratives of students, teachers and parents.
