The Impact of Violence on Learning
Missing School
Violence can make it hard to attend school. There may be many different reasons that we can’t actually get to school to learn. For example, school may not run at all or it may be too dangerous to get there. We may have to leave our home, or home country, or keep moving. We may get suspended or asked to leave. We may be excluded in the first place, judged unable to learn, or kept out by physical or emotional barriers. We may choose to quit.
