Attention was drawn to strengthening the guidance unit in schools

The knife and gun attacks in Istanbul, Şanlıurfa, Kahramanmaraş and Manisa revealed the extent of violence in schools. Attacks targeting teachers and students, resulting in loss of life and injuries, revealed that children are not safe in the areas where they receive education.

Pointing out that violence in schools cannot be solved only with security measures, sociologist and family consultant Gökhan İlhan stated that family, education and social conditions are at the root of the problem and said, "If we want to stop violence at the school gate, we must start love, care and education in the family."

Emphasizing that violence is not a behavior that occurs suddenly, İlhan said, "Violence is a painful problem that often starts in the family, is nurtured at school and in the environment, and becomes visible in society. The indifference, lack of love, lack of communication and violence that the child experiences in the family can negatively affect personality development."

Noting that attacks at schools create fear and anxiety in families and damage children's trust in their teachers, friends and the educational environment, İlhan pointed out the danger of violence becoming commonplace in society. Stating that peer bullying and violent tendencies should be detected at an early stage, Gökhan İlhan requested that psychological counseling and guidance services in schools be strengthened.
