Research articles, the results of which contribute to the professional development of teachers and improve the quality of education are to be accepted.

The well-being of schoolchildren is one of the indicators of educational efficiency and a new trend that takes into account not only educational but also socio-economic and socio-cultural parameters. How do academic achievements and relationships in the school community influence the level of students’ satisfaction and well-being? What is well-being, and what are the psychological barriers to its achievement? Why does bullying occur, and how can it be stopped? The authors will share their scholarly views and research results on these and other aspects of this issue.
