Safe to Learn diagnostic exercises
Assessing national and school-level action to end violence in and around schools
Safe to Learn supports governments to undertake diagnostic exercises to assess progress against the Safe to Learn Call to Action, identify priority areas for action, and inform policy dialogue and system reform.
The diagnostic tool goes beyond high-level commitments to examine how policies, systems, and practices are functioning in reality. Implementation is assessed across three levels:
- National level (policies, legislation, coordination, financing)
- Decentralized level (systems, roles, and capacity at sub-national level)
- School level (school leadership, prevention, response, and learning environment)
The tool generates evidence that helps governments and partners identify strengths, gaps, and priority actions to strengthen safe and enabling schools.
Each diagnostic exercise resulted in a country report that:
- Assesses progress across the five Call to Action areas
- Identifies strengths and gaps at national, decentralized, and school levels
- Provides practical recommendations to strengthen prevention and response to violence in schools
