Anti-Bullying Education

Coconut Telegraph

160,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying. The Child Protection Center’s Personal Safety and Community Awareness (PSCA) team talks to children in the community of all ages about identifying and reporting bullying situations. This past year, PSCA has been able to add a new iPad component to their curriculum. Each child is given their own tablet and the students can participate in polls, answer multiple-choice questions and answer free-response questions.

It also provides PSCA with real-time data to better address the issues students may be facing with bullying.
