Message on issues concerning bullying
In 2013, the Act for the Promotion of Measures to Prevent Bullying came into force, which obliges the national government and schools to establish basic principles to prevent bullying. Schools have made efforts to recognize bullying promptly; however, bullying among students tends to be hidden, and thus it is difficult for teachers to recognize it. Bullying on the internet is even more difficult to discover. Tragic issues are still occurring.
