Bullying doesn't usually happen in plain site of teachers, administrators, or parents. Often it's only noticed after a students mood changes, and it can only be dealt with when that student is willing to share what is wrong. It's also not easy to spot right away when you're seeing 100 kids a day across 4 or 5 classes.

And "dealing with it" can make the students situation worse in some cases

Of course it can, because we did not define what course of action "dealing with it" entails.

And I can ensure you the bullies, if they are able, will find a way to twist the situation to continue and worsen the abuse.

Pease name these interventions. How big is the share of European schools that have the capacity to follow these best practices? In Germany for example, there is a teacher shortage.

Speaking for central EU schools, there is no such capacity and the teachers sometimes join in the bullying too.

They are also completely unable to deal with stuff like dyslexia, ADHD, or other mental issues - meanwhile we have a push for "inclusive schooling"...

The bullying I suffered was from the teachers.

It can also happen in plain site of teachers who do nothing. This is even worse mentally because the situation seems even more hopeless.

Ever seen a kid clearly bully another kid, like call him names then push him down and the teacher comes over and says 'cut it out you two, now get up and shake hands'.
