Safety is a foundational component of well-being, particularly in contexts affected by crisis, conflict, or instability. Physical and psychological security is a basic human need, and its absence can severely compromise the mental and emotional health of teachers and education support personnel. This is particularly acute in regions where schools are targets of violence and wars or political unrest, where the threat to personal safety is compounded by a lack of professional development, formal certification, and adequate compensation. The psychological toll of working in emergency or conflict-affected environments highlights the urgent need for protective measures and institutional support. A secure and safe environment is also essential, as feeling protected from physical harm contributes significantly to a sense of well-being and allows both staff and students to concentrate on their roles without fear or distraction.
