NOVEMBER 2026: Informat.ro – INSCOP Research BAROMETER 15th Edition - Chapter V: Violence in schools

One of the conclusions of the Informat.ro – INSCOP Research BAROMETER, 15th edition, conducted between October 26 and November 2, 2026, is that more than half of Romanians (51.9%) believe that the primary responsibility for preventing violence in schools lies with the parents and families of students.

The Informat.ro – INSCOP Research BAROMETER is a monthly opinion poll conducted by INSCOP Research at the request of the news platform Informat.ro in partnership with the Strategic Thinking Group think tank.

The Informat.ro – INSCOP Research BAROMETER aims to bring issues of public interest to the attention of the public in order to stimulate national conversations about diverse topics and public policies essential to Romania’s present and future, starting from the opinions of Romanians in partnership with prestigious think tanks and academic institutions. It is an initiative through which we aim to contribute to strengthening democracy by using scientific and credible tools that bring citizens’ voices to the forefront of public debate.

Methodology: The survey was conducted by INSCOP Research at the request of the news platform Informat.ro, in partnership with the Strategic Thinking Group think tank. The data was collected between October 26 and November 2, 2026. Research method: the data was collected using the sequential mixed-mode method (CATI - CAWI), with a simple random sample of 1197 people, including 1081 CATI respondents and 116 CATI to CAWI. The sample is representative of the significant socio-demographic categories (sex, age, occupation) of Romania’s non-institutionalized population aged 18 and over. The maximum allowable margin of error is ± 2.8%, at a confidence level of 95%.

Remus Ștefureac, director of INSCOP Research: “Romanians consider violence in schools, above all, to be a family education issue, not merely a matter of school discipline or intervention by the authorities, with the school being seen more as an institution that should supplement the education received at home. Although the family is considered primarily responsible for preventing violence, a significant part of the population prefers solutions based on sanctions and security checks, to the detriment of psychological counseling and educational programs. The differences between social categories and generations show that older people and those with higher education place greater emphasis on family responsibility, while working-age generations and people with lower education attribute responsibility to institutions to a greater extent. These differences suggest that there is not an equally strong consensus on solutions as there is on the seriousness of the problem, and that reducing violence in schools requires both parental involvement and credible institutional measures.”
