mediation in education

Mediation in education involves a neutral third party helping students, teachers, or parents resolve conflicts or disagreements. Rather than deciding who is right or wrong, the mediator facilitates open communication, encouraging understanding and cooperation. This process aims to find mutually acceptable solutions, promote positive relationships, and create a supportive learning environment. It’s a collaborative effort that emphasizes dialogue and respect, helping conflicts be addressed constructively without escalation, and often leads to stronger, more respectful interactions among everyone involved.
