The Community of Madrid has recorded a 57% decrease in potential school bullying cases since 2019, according to data presented by the Department of Education during the control session at the Madrid Assembly.

The regional administration has emphasized that the measures implemented to ensure coexistence in educational centers are yielding positive results. Among the key tools is the Socioscuela test, a system designed to analyze group dynamics in classrooms and allow for early intervention in the face of conflicting behaviors.
The Office of Coexistence and Against School Bullying plays a fundamental role in this process, carrying out an average of 12,500 face-to-face interventions per academic year. This body is responsible for analyzing risks associated with both traditional bullying and cyberbullying, coordinating specialized working committees.

"We were the first region in all of Spain to implement a comprehensive strategy against school bullying, a strategy that is in a continuous process of evaluation and improvement."
