The Scottish government is to hold a summit aimed at tackling violence and disruption in the country's schools.
The announcement comes two weeks after three teachers and a pupil were injured after being attacked by a former pupil at Johnstone High School.
Several social media videos of violent incidents involving pupils have also been highlighted by the media.
Unions have said school staff regularly face physical and verbal attacks in the classroom.
The announcement of the summit came ahead of a Scottish Conservative-led debate on the issue at Holyrood on Wednesday afternoon.
Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth said the summit would bring together young people, parents and carers, schools, local authorities, unions, and campaigners to identify how best to tackle the problem.
