Schools should provide a safe and nurturing environment where children are able to learn and thrive. Yet high rates of girls and boys continue to experience violence in and around schools. Such exposure not only violates children’s right to a safe education, but also prevents them from fully benefiting from it. A growing body of evidence shows that school-related violence has adverse and lasting consequences for children’s learning, mental health, and future employment prospects. Emerging research is identifying promising pathways to reduce such violence. However, important knowledge gaps remain—limiting practitioners’ ability to respond effectively and sustainably reduce its prevalence and impact.

On February 10-11, 2026, CGD will host a one-and-a-half-day in-person workshop at the CGD offices in Washington, D.C., to examine the drivers, consequences, and pathways to preventing school-related violence in low- and middle-income countries.

The workshop will provide an opportunity for economists, public health specialists, and education experts from diverse institutions and countries to present research, exchange ideas, build relationships, and shape a future research agenda that informs policymaking to end violence in and around schools.
