Dataset
Percentage of students who, during a school year, were physically attacked, participated in a physical fight, experiencing bullying, corporal punishment, harassment, sexual discrimination or abuse. Bullying, includes verbal and relational abuse. This indicator intends to measure experiences related to bullying such as being called by an offensive nickname, being threatened to be hurt, or other students posting offensive pictures or texts about them. Bullying has been linked to reduce academic and health outcomes for victims and for perpetrators. The figure is calculated as the number of students in a given level of education reporting that they have experienced any of the different types of violence or abuse in the past year expressed as a percentage of all students at the same level of education. Data for this indicator may come from two different school based surveys coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO): a) The Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with UNICEF, UNESCO, and UNAIDS. The GSHS is conducted primarily among students aged 13-17 years and has a global coverage; b) The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study is a WHO collaborative cross-national study of adolescents' health and well-being administered in schools every four years and using a questionnaire for 11-, 13- and 15-year-olds. In addition, data points could be reported using student background data from international student assessments.
