Bullying on Primary Schools Increases: State Secretary Initiates Dialogue
A Unicef study reveals that bullying among primary school students in Woerden has risen from 17 percent to 19 percent over the past two years, affecting approximately four pupils per class. In response, the State Secretary for Education visited De Schakel primary school to engage with eighth-grade students about the issue. While online bullying remains a more significant challenge for secondary school students, the State Secretary emphasized that addressing bullying must begin with conversations between teachers and principals rather than solely focusing on the pupils involved.
