Brake failure

Every school is a community, and in every community, safety and well-being come first. In recent months, the issue of aggression and bullying in classrooms and corridors has been more relevant than ever. The good news is that the system is responding: the Ministry of Education and Science (MES) is taking a serious step by increasing the number of school psychologists and educational counselors.

This is not just an administrative measure. It is an investment in the emotional health of students and in support for teachers themselves. The psychologist is no longer a luxury, but a key member of the teaching team who can:

- Recognize early signs of problematic behavior before it escalates.

- Provide direct support to children who are victims or perpetrators of bullying.

- Working with parents – often the most difficult part of the equation.

At the heart of this policy is the development of students' social and emotional skills. These are the skills that enable them to understand and manage their emotions, build empathy, and communicate constructively—in short, to be good citizens.

For teachers, this means we have a more reliable partner in the classroom. Don't hesitate to work as a team with new specialists—their expertise is an invaluable shield against the challenges of modern schooling.
