Bullying Prevention Week gets under way

The Ministry of Education has launched its second National Bullying Prevention Week campaign that began yesterday and will run to November 24 in conjunction with World Children’s Day.

The aim of the initiative is to equip students, educators and parents with the skills needed to address bullying.

The campaign was launched in collaboration with the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood and in partnership with more than 25 local and federal entities.

The ministry called on the community to learn how to identify if someone is being bullied, how to intervene to break the cycle of bullying, and how to provide support and care to the victims to ensure a safe and bullying-free learning environment.
