Debated in Parliament on 28 Feb 2025.
Ms Hazel Poa asked the Minister for Education in the past five years, what is the rate of repeated bullying by students who had previously bullied or assaulted others.
We would like to refer the member to the Ministry of Education's response on bullying in schools at the Parliament Sitting on 14 October 2024. [Please refer to "Review of Measures and Help Provided in Student Bullying Incidents", Official Report, 14 October 2024, Vol 95, Issue 142, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
The number of bullying cases and assault cases is low. The number of repeat cases is also low, and no significant trends can be drawn.
