Issues of bullying and cyberbullying in primary and secondary schools in Slovakia

Abstract

The article deals with the issue of bullying and cyberbullying at primary and secondary schools in Slovakia. It approaches cyberbullying as a problem of today's modern world, which is difficult to face with the availability of modern information and communication technologies. Nowadays, it is becoming easier to access information, to get closer to people through social networks that we would never have met under other circumstances. However, this poses a certain risk that children and adolescents in particular are unaware of. That is why it is important to constantly prevent and make young people aware of the risks posed by these modern technologies. The article contains a summary of the statistical survey "Prevention and solution of (cyber) bullying in primary and secondary schools from the perspective of prevention coordinators", which in 2020 was implemented by the questionnaire method as a research task CVTI SR. This survey has yielded interesting results, which are not surprising given today.
