Bullying of teachers a big problem: study

[James]

Bullying of teachers against other teachers is a serious problem, a study by the University of the Free State's education faculty has found.

"South African teachers are working in toxic environments characterised by disgruntled, overworked and stressed teachers," school of education studies lecturer Dr Lynette Jacobs said in a statement on Tuesday.

The research is based on the replies of some 1000 teachers who were asked to fill in questionnaires and did so correctly.
