## Increasing Cases of Bullying in Ukrainian Schools: New Data for 2025 Recent data for 2025 indicates a concerning rise in bullying incidents within Ukrainian schools. According to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the number of reported cases has increased by 15% compared to the previous year. This surge is particularly noticeable in secondary schools, where cyberbullying and verbal abuse are becoming increasingly prevalent. Experts attribute this rise to several factors, including increased online activity among students, a lack of effective anti-bullying programs, and inadequate parental involvement. "We are deeply concerned about the growing trend of bullying in our schools," stated Oksana Kovalenko, Head of the Department of Educational Policies at the Ministry of Education and Science. "We are working on implementing new strategies to combat this issue, including enhanced training for teachers and stronger collaboration with parents and community organizations." The Ministry is also considering introducing stricter penalties for perpetrators of bullying and expanding support services for victims. Several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are actively involved in providing counseling and educational resources to schools and families affected by bullying. However, challenges remain. Many schools lack the resources and expertise to effectively address bullying incidents, and reporting rates remain low due to fear of retaliation and a lack of trust in the system. "We need a comprehensive approach that involves everyone – students, teachers, parents, and the community – to create a safe and supportive learning environment for all children," emphasized Andriy Melnyk, Director of the "Safe School" NGO. The issue of bullying in Ukrainian schools requires urgent attention and coordinated action to protect the well-being and future of the country's youth. The Ministry of Education and Science is committed to working with all stakeholders to implement effective solutions and create a culture of respect and empathy in Ukrainian schools.

In 2025, Ukraine saw a significant increase in cases of bullying among schoolchildren. In the first four months, 130 cases were recorded, which is 1.5 times more than last year.
