This manual was produced as part of the Teacher Training and Development for Peace-building in the Horn of Africa and Surrounding Countries project and aims to introduce teachers to the knowledge and skills needed for the establishment, maintenance and sustainment of basic school safety. As more children are enrolling in school in Africa, creating a safe and peaceful environment must be a top priority of teachers and educational institutions.
The responsibility of schools to provide a safe environment for their students has been affirmed in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) four on Education.
