The word covert just means secret or hidden. Bullying in the form of psychological abuse is hard to detect just by being a bystander and looking at it. There would be no violence, and often no direct threats, so others might not think there is any bullying occurring at all. Often, it is the victims who react and get punished. This type of bullying might be done with the goal of making the victim seem mentally unstable, since it can appear they are upset for no reason.

Why doesn't bullying happen in school?

It could be that strict school policies and the advent of the Internet has displaced the bullying. They might bully at home or in the neighborhood, or they choose to cyberbully instead. Oh, some schools try to dictate your behavior while at home too, but anyone can take steps to reduce the chances of getting caught. So it is a matter of it being too costly to bully at school to make bullying in other places more attractive. Other factors as to why you might not see bullying is that maybe the bullying at school is more covert. Or maybe the school had a recent bullying-related tragedy or an effective anti-bullying program.
