School violence in South Korea

About one out of every 100 students attending primary, middle and high school have recently experienced school violence, a poll showed Thursday, a decline from earlier this year amid the government's efforts to eradicate the problem.
The survey conducted by the Ministry of Education jointly with city and provincial educational offices showed that 1.2 percent of the respondents answered they have suffered violence at school, slightly down from 1.4 percent in the first survey conducted this year.
