Utilizing a literature review approach from various sources, including articles, books, and related materials, will help clarify the prevalence of bullying in education and the teacher's role. A secure educational atmosphere is no doubt the best environment for students to receive their education. With no instances of bullying and teachers who proactively intervene before it happens, students can focus on learning comfortable at school.
