Tikanga Māori may help prevent bullying in schools

By using the principles of tikanga Māori, principals can help stop bullying and fighting within schools. That's according to Fiona Matapo of the Otago Primary Principals Association.

This comes as research from the association showed that there is physical violence and swearing within schools in the area, even with students in the age demographic of years 1 - 6.
