Strengthening Public Service Supervision in Cases of Bullying in Educational and Health Institutions

Abstract

Bullying in schools (education and health institutions) is a problem that can have a negative impact on victims. The purpose of this study is to assess the level of monitoring of bullying cases by public services in both institutions. The research methods used were; desk research and policy research. The findings of this study provide the directorate's view of the current monitoring, which shows that the existing monitoring is still not running optimally. Among other things, factors such as the low level of perception of the need for prevention, the low level of integration between institutions, the absence of sufficient funds are obstacles. This research therefore provides evidence supporting a number of propositions on how public service oversight can be improved to an appropriate level, including through awareness raising, improved rules and regulations, and more effective utilization of resources. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that efforts need to be made to strengthen public service supervision to address the problem of bullying. Through massive socialization and education campaigns, it is necessary to increase public awareness, especially among students, educators, and health workers, about the dangers of bullying and the importance of preventing it.
