Abstract: Many children
closely interact with
teachers for nine
months out of
the year and
schools are one
of the safest places for students to be educated and
teachers have a vital role for this education. Teachers should prevent from different
kinds of child abuses and have an important role for preventing from child
abuse. The primary purpose of this literature review study is to investigate of
the phenomenon of child abuse within the school environment by teachers. The
second aim of this paper is to determine the legal ways in different countries
to encounter with physical child abuse by teachers. Child abuse by teachers has
an in depth influence on children’s behaviors and their academic
achievements. Abused children have been
found to suffer from extreme deficits in school, exhibit poor academic
performance, antisocial behaviour, poor self-respect, higher criminal behaviour
rates, scepticism of adults, and central nervous system functioning. The
findings of this paper showed that there are many reported cases of child abuse
by teachers in rural areas, nevertheless, many countries banned or
restricted physical abuse or corporal
punishment and made legal decisions.
