Berlin: Teachers at Berlin school report violence and threats

Cases of violence and threats against teachers at a Berlin school have increased, according to a report by the school's principal.

The report, which was obtained by the Berliner Zeitung newspaper, found that there were 30 cases of violence and threats against teachers at the school in the 2021-22 school year, up from 20 cases in the previous year.

The report also found that the number of cases of physical violence against teachers had increased, from 5 in the 2020-21 school year to 10 in the 2021-22 school year.

The principal of the school, who was not named in the report, said that the increase in violence and threats was a "worrying trend" and that the school was taking steps to address the issue.

The school has hired a security guard and has installed security cameras in the school building. The school has also implemented a new policy that requires all visitors to the school to sign in and out.

The principal said that the school is also working with the police to investigate the cases of violence and threats and to identify the perpetrators.

The report comes amid growing concerns about violence and threats against teachers in Germany. A recent study by the German Teachers' Association found that 40% of teachers in Germany have experienced violence or threats at work.

The study also found that the number of cases of violence and threats against teachers has increased in recent years. The study found that there were 2,500 cases of violence and threats against teachers in Germany in the 2020-21 school year, up from 2,000 cases in the previous year.

The German Teachers' Association has called on the government to take action to address the issue of violence and threats against teachers.

The association has called for the government to increase funding for security measures in schools and to provide more support for teachers who have experienced violence or threats.
