ABSTRACT
The research aimed to understand the violence related to education, subsidized by Historical-Cultural Psychology (HCP), and to know what teachers from state schools in a municipality in Paraná express about violence in education. It had bibliographic and field investigations. Theoretical studies on violence in the current capitalist society and their impacts on the social constitution of the human psyche were recovered. The field investigation was carried out through semi-structured interviews with fourteen teachers who suffered strong police violence in protest against the dismantling of public education, addressing their perceptions of the violence manifested at school. The results of the investigations point to the multicausal and structural factors of violence in education, and the designation of school violence is not appropriate. Teachers, despite being impacted by the violence they suffered, did not give up their professional activities in favor of human training.
