Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify the levels of symbolic violence among students at the Rizak Muhammad Al-Saghir Secondary School in Ain Sennour, Souk Ahras, with its three dimensions represented by "symbols, signs, and meanings." The first dimension consists of 5 phrases, the second dimension "hidden and shadowed violence and suppression" consists of 5 phrases, and the third dimension, "freedom violations," consists of 3 phrases. The study sample included 159 students from different academic specializations, including scientific, literary, and technical disciplines. We adopted a descriptive approach to achieve the objectives of this study. In this research, we used a questionnaire developed based on theoretical literature, and we calculated its reliability and validity. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23, utilizing statistical methods such as frequencies, means, and standard deviations. The study showed that the level of symbolic violence based on gender was high among the study sample, with a total mean of 4.23 and a standard deviation of 0.7, with no statistically significant differences attributed to the gender variable.
