Between a fifth and half of learners affected, and no training to meet it.
Bullying is a widespread global problem, with extensive research across countries showing that no school is immune.
While South Africa grapples with classroom bullying that affects up to half its students, the real crisis lies in a colonial education system that never taught African educators to nurture Ubuntu, leaving teachers as unprepared as the very structures that have historically devalued both African pedagogical wisdom and the mental health of Black children. This isn't just an education failure; it's the continuation of a system designed to break rather than build African minds.
