According to Taiwanese media reports, Ke Zhien, the candidate for Kaohsiung mayor of the Kuomintang, checked the information and found that there were 18 cases of school bullying in Kaohsiung City in 2018, 32 cases in 2020, and doubled to 65 cases last year. This number surprised her. Ke Zhien said that anti-bullying cannot only consist of notifications, complaints and cross-department platforms, but should replenish professional counseling manpower as soon as possible and include campus-based psychologists as formal staff.
Ke Zhien checked the "six city" campus bullying "case" data and pointed out that New Taipei City dropped from 3 or 40 to 19 cases, Taipei City maintained around 15, Taichung and Tainan had about 20 cases, Kaohsiung Unexpectedly, the number of cases has doubled from 18 to 109 in 2018 to 32, and it doubled to 65 last year.
Ke Zhien said that the reason why Kaohsiung has so many "closed cases" needs to be further investigated. However, last year, the Fengshan girl was bullied in Kaohsiung. The Kaohsiung City Government Research and Examination Committee established an inter-departmental platform to investigate, and the mayor also said in a discussion with students that independent However, the grievance mechanism, whether it is a report, an independent complaint or a cross-platform investigation, is an afterthought and cannot prevent the spread and deterioration of bullying. "If complaints and investigations are effective, Kaohsiung will not have continuous bullying incidents."
Ke Zhien mentioned that after the Zheng Jie murder case in 2014, the "Legislative Yuan" passed the "Student Counseling Law" on the third reading, which stipulated that schools below high school should set up student counseling centers, and each school should have at least one full-time counselor. However, in actual operation It was found that a tutor has to tutor hundreds of students, and campus tutoring manpower is insufficient. Some counties and cities have to rely on the assistance of resident psychologists. Psychologists are temporary contract personnel with poor salaries. Usually one person is responsible for more than 10 schools. On average, each The school can only stay for 3 to 4 hours, and the system is very imperfect.
Ke Zhien proposed anti-school bullying politics. She believed that Kaohsiung should refer to Finnish schools (KiVa plan) to prevent and control bullying. Schools should establish systematic anti-bullying courses and use the concept of anti-bullying groups to strengthen the existing counseling system and implement For tracking and continuous counseling of perpetrators and victims, the most important thing is to prepare a sufficient budget to supplement school counseling manpower and counseling mechanisms, and to include psychologists stationed in schools as formal staff.
Chen Lina, spokesperson for the campaign team of Kuomintang Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhien, said that the end-of-year election is to select a mayor candidate who can make Kaohsiung develop better in the future. Only if you know Ke Zhien, you will know whether Ke Zhien is a good candidate. "Who can Making Kaohsiung better is the focus that should be observed."
Ke Zhien was recently diagnosed with new coronavirus pneumonia and is in isolation at home. Chen Lina said that Ke Zhien will go to the grassroots after the quarantine is over, and strive to let the public know her better and understand her better. The "ruling" resources are now in the hands of Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai, but the election is not until the end and we don't know whether he will win or lose. (Editor: Fang Yanyan)
