Teacher Criminal Responsibility for Violence Against Children in Schools is Reviewed According to Article 80 of the Law Number 35 of 2014 Concerning Child Protection

Teachers and students are two things that cannot be separated in the world of education. The relationship between the two sometimes runs harmoniously, but not infrequently contradictory. Often teachers commit acts of violence against students. The teacher argues to uphold discipline for students at school. Teacher violence against students (children) is not justified in the basic philosophy of education. Responsibility for criminal acts of violence committed by teachers against children in school refers to Article 76C of Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection which states that: "Every person is prohibited from placing, letting, doing, ordering or participating in committing violence against children." Meanwhile, sanctions for teachers who violate the article above are regulated in Article 80 of Law Number 35 of 2014 and it is fitting for students in schools to get protection from violent behavior by teachers in the form of physical and psychological violence. For teachers, it is recommended that as much as possible always be able to control themselves or control themselves when faced with student delinquency in school or other student behavior which can be a stimulus for teachers to commit acts of violence. Teachers should also not use ways that lead to violence against students in educating.
