Abstract

Safety awareness at school is fundamental in today’s era. Awareness of safety at school should not be overlooked because it can be a starting point for students to recognise safety aspects. This research aims to analyse students’ perceptions and levels of awareness in SMT IT Al Qudwah Musi Rawas. This study involved 169 students aged 12 to 15 years, where 76 students were male while 93 were female. The study’s findings show that all of the mean values are low and the level of safety awareness among students at SMT IT Al Qudwah Musi Rawas is still low, below ≤ 2.40. The study of student safety awareness perception is critical because it shows that schools still have safety issues. Accordingly, the conclusions of this study might supply readers and researchers with inspiration and insightful ideas regarding parts of safety in school that should be streamlined. In addition to giving insights that future researchers can develop, this work intends to indirectly add to the body of existing knowledge.
