- Abstract
This is a study of how schools have changed their policies on bullying after the law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Juveniles was introduced. There are two main forms of school bullying: psychological and physical. Based on the study of new and old laws and interviews with the administrators of four primary and middle schools in Xi ‘an, this paper provides an in-depth study of Chinese educators’ attitudes towards bullying and their efforts to protect young people in their care. This paper interviewed five administrators from four schools in Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province and he interview questions were mainly about three themes of school bullying. Surveys and studies show the changes schools have made to prevent bullying since the new law was introduced. An increasing number of rules to prevent and control bullying have been implemented and teachers are placing growing emphasis on the protection of minors’ physical and mental health. China’s education system places great emphasis on exam success and therefore this is more than just a governmental-level initiative, it represents a recognition of the significance of the detrimental effects of bullying and that exam success on its own is not sufficient.
