KwaZulu-Natal, MEC for Education in the province, Mthandeni Dlungwana, mentioned quite rightly that bullying is one of the causes of violent crime (I think he means violence) in schools. This needs to be addressed from within the school. The Quaker Peace Centre in Cape Town promotes the concept of active bystanders who in groups intervene in cases of bullying. The Centre has found that peace clubs can make the concept of active bystanders very real where active bystanders stop fights in a non-violent way. This approach is described in its publication 'my bully my bra'. The Centre has also published a behaviour management manual 'The 80/20 Discipline Rule' which is based on three main principles: Teachers must build good relationships with learners, the whole school must stand together on behaviour management issues, and teachers must create lessons so interesting that learners want to learn. Both publications can be freely downloaded from the Centre's website at www.qpc.org.za
