Education ministry to earmark 35 million to fight bullying

Czech Ministry of Education will earmark 35 million crowns for the regions to help them fight bullying in schools, Education Minister Kateřina Valachová said in a debate on commercial TV Prima on Sunday. The move comes in reaction to a shocking case of students who bullied their teacher in a secondary technical school in Prague. The minister has also called on Czech school inspectors to focus more on the problem in the future. The Education Ministry currently prepares new set of directives to raise the legal protection and safety at schools.
