Abstract :
[en] In recent years, the virality of videos depicting various forms of abuse in Congolese schools has exposed an alarming issue, raising questions not only about pedagogical dynamics but also the sociocultural foundations of child protection. This article offers a critical analysis of the systemic determinants of child abuse within the Congolese educational context, examining its neurocognitive, psychosocial, and economic repercussions. Drawing on an interdisciplinary literature review (encompassing pedagogy, public health, and human rights), it develops a theoretical framework for structural reforms centered on primary prevention and restorative justice.
