Abstract : This article investigates the phenomenon of school violence in Cameroon’s public educational institutions, examining how the social climate and institutional frameworks influence both the prevalence of violence and the measures implemented to protect students. It identifies five key forms of school violence-student-on-student, student-on-teacher, teacher-on-student, psychological, and institutional-while situating these within broader socio-economic and policy contexts. The study underscores the need for integrated, curriculum-based interventions, community involvement, and improved infrastructure to foster a safe, inclusive learning environment. It contributes to global educational discourse by aligning with Sustainable Development Goals targeting child protection and educational equity.

Keywords : School Violence, Student Protection, Social Climate, Education Policy, Cameroon.
