✦ Synopsis

In Norwegian primary and secondary schools, approximately 5% of the pupils are bullied persistently, and about the same percentage of the pupils bully regularly. Three national programs to counteract bullying in schools are described and discussed. The first one was conducted in 1983, and the second one in 1996. A third, very comprehensive 3-year program is decided and will be started about 2000. The content of these national programs has changed gradually, from being rather bullying and intervention focused to being more preventive and comprehensive. Improvement of the school as an organisation and improved, general classroom management are two central aspects in the recent approach, which is supposed to have multiple effects. Also, the support system for the schools to implement and maintain a national program has developed, and it includes researchers, personnel from Educational Psychological School Services (EPSS) and headteachers in the forthcoming program. Research, which has promoted these changes in content and support system, is discussed.
