Lessons in danger: [International Conference on School Safety and Security ; from 12 to 14 November 2003 ... in Paris]
In: School safety and security
Accidents, earthquakes, arson, vandalism, theft, violence, bullying... All members of society agree that ensuring the safety and security of children in schools is a priority, but achieving this objective is not a given. The number of problems and threats facing schools from within and without is vast, and in some countries the range of incidents is increasing. In response, the variety of approaches used to confront these challenges in society and education is growing too. To help understand the issues facing schools today, the OECD and the United States Department of Education jointly organised an international conference.
