POSITIVE EDUCATION — THE AXIOM OF CONTEMPORARY UPBRINGING AND EDUCATION education for a strong character and life satisfaction. In education, the educational aim is egually strategic. Through their mutual harmonization, they will create the basis for the most favourable development of man and the whole community (Seligman, 2017; in Janstovä, Slezackovä, 2018). 2.3 POSITIVE EDUCATION AND UNDESIRABLE BEHAVIOURS The positive approach to education reflects the growing trend of bullying, aggression, various addictions, depression and mental problems among students and adolescents.
