Banning of Bullrush in Schools
Mr Mathews made this Official Information request to Education Review Office
Education Review Office did not have the information requested.
From: Mr Mathews
Dear Education Review Office,
Please refer to this request I made to the Ministry of Education - https://fyi.org.nz/request/19737-banning...
Could you please provide me with an explicit answer to the question of whether bullrush is banned in schools nationally?
Has bullrush ever been a topic discussed in any ERO reviews of schools in New Zealand?
Yours faithfully,
Mr Mathews
