O. Abstract: The school is an open system that influences its environment and is being influenced by it too. Thus, the existence of violence in the society culminated to its existence in the school system. This paper examines the concept of violence, cases and types of violence in schools, factors associated with it, the need for discipline in schools and the guidelines for establishing disciplinary committee in schools. It also suggests some of the expected functions of disciplinary committee in order to promote and encourage discipline among pupils and teachers thereby reducing/terminating the occurrence of violence in our schools. It concludes that violence in educational institutions poses a lot of challenges to the stake holders in education and thus all hands must be on deck to help put students on the right track of non-violent behavior so that the educational objectives would be achieved. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z ir.bowen.edu.ng:8181/jspui/handle/123456789/986 Title: Mentoring new teachers and introducing them to administrative skills Authors: Alabi, A.
