Violence in schools in Côte d'Ivoire

This thesis aims to show the impact of students' socioeconomic conditions on school violence. To collect the data, the stratified weighted or proportional sampling technique was used. The methodology consisted of administering a questionnaire to 622 students in the two high schools. In addition, an interview guide was administered to the teaching, educational and administrative staff. The results show that students living in low socioeconomic conditions are the ones who commit the most violent acts in school. From this study, we can conclude that the impoverishment of society, which leads to the progressive deterioration of students' socioeconomic conditions, favors the emergence of violence in schools. This situation will precipitate, if we are not careful, a significant number of students and schools to the violence that arises from the interaction between the various school leaders.
