What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Interaction Competencies with Children - for Teachers (ICC-T) intervention in reducing physical and emotional violence by teachers in public schools across various regions in Pakistan. It employs a multi-site cluster randomized controlled trial design, involving 48 public schools and approximately 1440 students and 720 teachers. The intervention focuses on changing teachers' attitudes towards violence and equipping them with non-violent discipline strategies. Data will be collected at three points: baseline, six months, and 18 months post-intervention to assess the impact on violence reported by students and teachers.
