PAUD Teachers Receive Child Safety Training to Prevent School-Based Violence

To address rising concerns about child safety, PAUD teachers across Indonesia are now receiving specialized training designed to prevent violence and ensure secure learning environments. This initiative provides educators with the skills needed to identify early signs of abuse, respond to emergencies, and promote positive discipline in the classroom. The training supports national efforts to make schools safer and more child-friendly.

Educators learn strategies for guiding children’s behavior without physical punishment, which has long been a concern in various educational settings. Training modules include conflict resolution, emotional coaching, and creating routines that minimize frustration and misbehavior. Teachers also practice techniques for de-escalating tense situations and communicating effectively with young children.

The program also equips teachers with the ability to detect signs of neglect or abuse at home. By observing behavioral and physical indicators, educators can work closely with counselors and local authorities to ensure at-risk children receive support. This early intervention approach strengthens child protection systems at both school and community levels.

Parents welcome the program, appreciating the increased focus on emotional safety and respectful communication. Many PAUD institutions now involve parents in safety workshops to encourage consistency in parenting approaches. Schools also implement clear reporting mechanisms so parents can voice concerns regarding classroom behavior or discipline practices.

With the rise of these safety initiatives, Indonesia aims to reduce incidents of violence and foster environments where children feel protected and valued. Strengthening teacher competency is viewed as a vital step toward developing secure and nurturing PAUD settings nationwide.
