It's thought more work is needed, before a national school bullying database could work.
New Zealand holds the highest level of bullying in the OECD, according to a 2024 report.
Schools are required to develop prevention and response approaches - but there's no regular data reported to the Ministry of Education.
PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Andrew Dickens he isn't opposed to a database
He says the issue is every school has its own definition of bullying, which would need to be discussed and rectified.
