Since September, 100 cases have been reported, more than last year in the same period.

Principals are now receiving special training to help them detect bullying, but also to react and neutralize the situation.

The rector’s office of Martinique called for quick and effective action to prevent situations from escalating and causing further damage.

In the past, as the Francetvinfo website recalls, the authorities were more inclined to sanctions and punishments, but they realized the ineffectiveness of such methods, as the harasser retaliated against the harassed if the latter accused him or her to the faculty.

Between September 2023 and February 2024, 60 cases of bullying were reported and dealt with.

In the same period this year, the rector’s office counted 100 complaints, proof that the anti-bullying program, launched in 2021, has lost its target.
