Abstract
Violence in schools has emerged as an issue of great national relevance after the occurrence of tragic incidents involving children in different states of Brazil. These impactful events raised serious concerns about safety within educational institutions and underlined the urgency of addressing the issue of school violence across the country. The article proposes to analyze violence in high schools, through the responses of school principals. The database is based on the results of the Basic Education Evaluation System (SAEB) in the years 2019 and 2021, in the context of Brazilian states. The data show a decrease in the types of violence reported between 2019 and 2021, except for the Robbery type. For the year 2021, where new types of violence were introduced, mainly of a psychological aspect, the data are worrying about Bullying, Vandalism and the complete non-perception of Harassment Sexual. By better understanding the dynamics of school violence, it will be possible to develop approaches for increasing social capital, thus promoting a safer and more welcoming school environment, and, consequently, increasing human capital.
