Students can reach their full potential if they feelsafe and protected by the school community.Sexual violence and bullying are very common in schools. Some studentsare coerced or forced into sex by teachers in exchange for school fees orbetter marks. Some students face sexual harassment and teasing about theirphysical development, while others are physically intimidated by their peers.Some students may be misbehaving because of abuses at home or fromcommunity members. A Good School has policies to protect students, andis connected to people who can provide specialised help. These measuressend a clear message to students that the school will not tolerate theabuse of its members.19
