Combating bullying is a national priority, in line with the country's main vision. It supports the goal of Wawasan Brunei 2035 which is to produce a highly educated and skilled population, emphasising that the safety and welfare of students are essential for academic excellence.

The matter was among the points outlined during the third session of the Ministry of Education's Policy Framework Workshop on the Comprehensive Education Approach to Preventing and Addressing Bullying Issues. The workshop took place at the Ministry of Education.

Doctor Shamsiah Zuraini Kanchanawati binti Haji Tajuddin, Permanent Secretary for Core Education at the Ministry of Education also shared that the move also further strengthens the SPN 21 focus on comprehensive education and moral development. It also upholds the principles of Maqasid Syariah, prioritizing the preservation of life, mind, and ancestry.  The workshop was participated by stakeholders from Government agencies, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations.
