The Minister of National Education has decided to accelerate the fight against bullying.

“My role, your role, is not to protect an Institution at all costs, but to protect our students, our children at all costs,” he declared according to comments reported by those around him. An audit on the management of bullying cases will also be launched in each academy from September 2022 to September 2023. Conclusions are expected in four weeks.
