Abstract :
The school environment is a place wherein students spend one third of their life with the other students and school staff. Therefore, it is essential to pay continuous and specific attention to safety problems in schools. We identified 20 critical success factors (CSFs) in the current study based on previous researches in order to achieve effective school safety. Then these factors validated by 33 governmental high school administrators. This survey was conducted in Tehran, among 96 governmental high school administrators. The data for this survey was collected from 96 high school administrators and then we prioritized those success factors based on high school administratorsʹ viewpoints. ‘‘Physical safety’’ was the most influential factor for school safety in Tehran governmental high schools. The last four factors of school safety CFSs were excluded from the list. In conclusion, physical safety which is the most traditional school safety element and concerned with the physical vulnerability of the buildings at school, plays a major role in making a safe school in Tehran governmental high schools.
