This will enable them to create a safe and nurturing classroom environment where students feel comfortable reporting bullying incidents and seeking assistance.
Objective 3: Promoting Peer Mediation and Conflict Resolution Skills

This mechanism aims to provide an outlet for those who might be hesitant to come forward due to fear of retaliation.
Objective 6: Continuous Monitoring and Evaluation

This may involve organizing counseling sessions, workshops on emotional well-being, and resources for both victims and perpetrators to understand the consequences of their actions.
Objective 9: Raising Awareness Through Campaigns
To organize awareness campaigns and events, such as Anti-Bullying Week, assemblies, and classroom discussions, to continually reinforce the anti-bullying message. These campaigns aim to keep the issue at the forefront of students’ minds and encourage ongoing conversations about respectful behavior and empathy.
Objective 10: Long-Term Sustainability
To ensure the long-term sustainability of the anti-bullying and conflict resolution programs by integrating them into the school’s broader curriculum and values.
