Concerns have been raised in recent months after a number of videos circulated on social media showing violent outbursts from pupils
Calls will be made for the Scottish Government to create a "comprehensive plan" to tackle violence at schools by the Tories in a debate at Holyrood this week.
He added: "The Scottish Conservatives are using our party business on Wednesday to urge ministers to produce a comprehensive plan to address this crisis of violence which has become endemic in our schools. We will urge the setting up of a school violence working group as well as a review of current exclusion policies would be positive steps forward to get on top of this serious issue.
Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth last week told the NASUWT teaching union conference in Aberdeen that youngsters are "struggling" in the wake of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. "The graphic videos that we've seen in the press in recent times... are completely unacceptable," she told delegates.
Responding to comments from the Tories on Tuesday, Ms Gilruth said: "Any form of violence in our schools is completely unacceptable. I have spoken openly about my concern regarding the change in school culture post-Covid and what that has meant for behaviour but, more generally, relationships within our school communities.
"Since my appointment, I have discussed this matter at length with Cosla , Ades and the teaching Unions. Whilst we await the outcome of the national research, which was last completed in 2016, I have also been clear with my officials in Scottish Government on the need for urgency from all partners in Scottish education.
