Summary

This study tested a program called Interaction Competencies with Children - for Teachers (ICC-T) in primary and secondary schools in Tanzania, Uganda, and Ghana. The program trains teachers to use non-violent discipline and support students better. Over 3,200 students and teachers took part. The goal was to see if the training reduces emotional and physical violence by teachers and improves children's well-being.
