Paragraph text
Although statistical information on violence in education is scarce and fragmented, available data reveal the serious magnitude and the long-lasting consequences of this phenomenon - on children and their families and on the education system as a whole. Surveys conducted in a number of countries confirm this pattern and in some cases helped to denounce emerging forms of violence, including new forms of sexual abuse in schools referred to as "sex for grades".
