What does the bill do?
The proposal defines social ostracism as the shunning or rejection of a student by at least two students, by means such as spreading false information, shaming or mockery. The proposal provides that every school will appoint an officer from among its educational staff, who will undergo dedicated training to handle social ostracism.
