School violence has emerged as a social problem in Korea and developed countries around the 1980s. The severity of school violence is influenced by a variety of factors, including admission-oriented education, lack of care, and exposure to the media. As school violence became more and more serious, the government enacted the Act on the Prevention of School Violence in 2004.
As a result of efforts to solve school violence throughout society, the incidence of school violence has decreased every year since 2010. However, school violence goes beyond mere physical power and makes it intelligent by insults, profanity, sexual abuse, bullying and cyber violence. It is difficult to conclude that violence is disappearing simply because the incidence of school violence is diminishing, and there is still a lot of school violence that is not revealed by the survey. School violence measure autonomy committees must take prompt action on students who have been injured and students who have been victimized. However, as unprofessional teachers and parents are members of the committee, they often take different actions for similar issues. It also fails to comply with the principles and procedures of law enforcement and does not consistently handle issues. Parents are increasingly rejecting decisions because they do not trust the committee. As a result, school violence reconsideration and administrative appeals are increasing every year.
The review process should also be improved. The fundamental problem of the school violence review is that the organization that appeals the injustice of the victim and the student is divided into the regional committee and the disciplinary coordination committee, so that both the students and the victim students are confused if they make contradictory decisions to be.
The role of Gyeonggi-Do to prevent and cope with school violence is as follows. First, we need to educate professional lecturers on prevention education for school violence. According to the School Violence Prevention Act, each school should conduct school violence preventive education for students, staff and parents at least once a semester, but the education is not made faithful because of lack of professional instructors. Second, preliminary parent education should be conducted. In Gyeonggi-Do, it is necessary to conduct preliminary parent education through the Health and Welfare Center and the Youth Counseling and Welfare Center, and to cooperate with the Education Office to implement preliminary parent education as part of student experience activities. Third, it is necessary to strengthen the professionalism of the school violence council autonomy committee and unify the reconsideration organization. If students and parents trust the results of the first review of school violence, the appeal will be reduced. In addition, it is desirable to unify the reconsideration mechanism separately from the decrease in the number of reconsideration, and collectively address the problems of the student and the victim.
