The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and consequences of violence
directed at teachers in Senior High Schools in the Wa Municipality. The study adopted an
applied research using a cross-sectional survey design. Primary data were collected from
a cross-section of teachers in the Wa Municipality. Seventy-seven (77) teachers across
different schools were contacted and their ideas used for this survey. The total population
of teachers in the selected municipal schools where this research was conducted is one
hundred and fifty-two (152) and seventy-seven (77) sample size of respondents. The
selection of those schools was purposive; based principally on numerous complaints of
violence against teachers. The study utilized a questionnaire to collect data and to elicit
information on the characteristics of respondents. Also, instrument-triangulation was
applied resulting in the use of both survey questionnaires and unstructured interviews.
The data were analyzed using tabulation and charts. Information on demographic
characteristics of respondents was analyzed by means of tabulation and charts. Microsoft
Excel was used to analyze some of the information. The findings highlighted that
teachers experienced violence in a number of different forms ranging from verbal abuse,
attacks on internet base platforms, physical abuse, intimidation, threats among others. A
number of different perpetrators were found to abuse teachers including students, parents,
colleagues, strangers, and others. In accordance with the findings the present research
recommends that the Ministry of Education and other relevant agencies should consider
as a matter of urgency to establish functional and competent guidance and counseling
departments in all secondary schools. Also, teachers should be educated on the need to
relate well with their students. |
