In the context of education, encroachment refers to the gradual intrusion of non-educational activities or external factors that impede the proper functioning of educational institutions. These activities might include diverting resources, space, or attention away from core educational objectives. Encroachment can disrupt the learning environment, affecting both students and educators. Schools and educational stakeholders need to proactively manage encroachment to ensure that educational institutions remain focused on their primary mission of providing quality education to students.
A learning environment includes all elements that affect student learning, from physical spaces to social interactions and emotional support.
