Cyberbullying, England is Worst Ranked in the World

A global education report has found that England is the worst in the world for cyberbullying of students. The report asked headteachers around the world to account for any incidents of students, parents or guardians who had posted harmful information online about students; of which an average of 2.5 per cent of headteachers made a statement. However, 13.8 per cent headteachers in England mentioned that there had been an incident with their students.

A national issue

I believe that if this was an exception within one school, then the headteacher should be rewriting their policies and ensuring their students are safe; however, this seems to be a national issue. Clusters of schools or school systems need to look at this issue systemically. If teachers have their workload reduced and unnecessary tasks are taken away from them then maybe they can not only focus on their teaching; but focus on making their students better people, and perhaps this could reduce cyberbullying in some way.
