Switzerland, German
Bullying in schools is also increasing in Switzerland: in the 2015 PISA report, 11% of students said that others made fun of them. In 2018 it was already 13%. Bullying has serious social and health consequences for everyone involved. The introduction to the chapter “Bullying in Swiss Schools” of the 2018 PISA report states:
“The well-being of students is an important criterion for a successful education system. A relevant and negative predictor of well-being, both short-term and long-term, is bullying experiences. For this reason, it is crucial to pay particular attention to and investigate students’ subjective experiences of bullying.”
