The Department of Education has detected 1,865 possible cases of school bullying since the start of the current school year. This figure exceeds that registered during the entire previous school year, when 1,706 cases were reported. The data were communicated coinciding with the International Day Against School Bullying.

The increase in cases is accentuated by cases of school cyberbullying. The Department of Education launched the Support Unit for Students in Situations of Violence (USAV) in 2021. The USAV offers information, guidance, and support to activate protocols and make decisions in cases of possible bullying.

Questionings about the educational protocol

Families and entities question the current educational protocol and demand external intervention to evaluate cases. The entities request more accompaniment and support from the Administration for the victims and their environment. Betvè joins World Day Against School Bullying with the broadcast of its own documentary "Marked by School Bullying".

"The testimonies collect real experiences that show the need for structural changes" - Spokesperson for support entity

The documentary collects first-person testimonies from young people who have experienced school bullying. These voices seek to make visible the lasting consequences of these situations. Catalan society is paying renewed attention to this social phenomenon.
