And the data is alarming: 5% students from CE2 to CM2, 6% middle school students and 4% high school students are considered victims of harassment. Clearly, according to this study, more than one student per class on average is a victim of school bullying.
The investigation also reveals that other students are at greater risk of harassment and invites some vigilance for 19% of pupils from CE2 to CM2, 6% of middle school students and 5% of high school students.
How to cure it?
Exclusion of students with harassing methods on social networks, empathy lessons, confiscation of cell phones… Since the beginning of the 2023 school year, the government has increased the number of announcements to combat school bullying. Furthermore, the National Education Statistics Service, which authored the study, defines it as follows: “ In a school context, harassment is the act by a student or group of students of repeatedly subjecting a classmate to negative or even violent comments or behavior. “.
This survey, which consists of sending 17,000 questionnaires to a total of 7.5 million students from CE2 to final year, will now be carried out every year in the form of an “annual barometer of harassment in schools”, intended to monitor the evolution of this phenomenon.
In the event that a situation emerges from the questionnaire that appears to be at risk, “a new individual self-assessment during which anonymity will be removed, subject to parental consent» will be decided.
Nicole Belloubet also clarified this Since the start of the 2023 school year, 35 students have been automatically changed schools for acts of harassment.
