Cases of fatal bullying continue to haunt schools here despite a regulation issued by the Education, Culture, Research and Technology Ministry last year aimed at preventing violence at educational institutions. A 15-year-old student at Islamic junior high school Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Situbondo regency, East Java, died recently after he was beaten by nine other students.
The assault left the victim in a coma. He was hospitalised for a week before passing away last Sunday.
