Hi there
 
Please lodge attached OIA request.
Note that I believe this is the same person who OIA'd schools about gay
rights.

Subject: Official Information Act request - Compliance with s162 Education
Act 1964
 
     Dear Ministry of Education,
 
     Back in 1921, the government of New Zealand required all teachers
     to make an affirmation of allegiance. This law is still on the
     books today as s162 Education Act 1964, and I am interested in
     investigating how it is complied with. I would therefore like to
     request the following information under the Official Information
     Act 1982:
 
     * How is s162 Education Act 1964 enforced? How is it monitored?
     Does the Ministry centralise the oversight of such affirmations of
     allegiance, or does it leave it to individual schools?
 
     I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
     this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
     fyi.org.nz website.
 
     With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.
 
     Yours faithfully,
 
     Alex Harris
