Violence and weapons extremely rare in Czech schools, study finds

A newly released study conducted by the Institute for Information in Education (UIV) has found that violence and the possession of firearms remains extremely low in Czech schools. The survey suggests that around one fifth of schools have come across knives at all over the past three years, while only one percent of schools reported an incident involving a firearm. Despite slightly poorer results compared to the previous year, the survey nonetheless affirms that violent incidents, including attacks on teachers remain very rare in the Czech republic.
