experiencing race-based bullying in schools - research
Many New Zealand secondary and primary school students from ethnic communities are encountering widespread racism at school, new research finds.
From mispronouncing names to bullying a child for what they bring for lunch, students are facing challenges based on their race - prompting calls to better identify and address racism in schools.
Research from the Education Review Office (ERO), the Government's external evaluation agency, found one in five learners from ethnic communities said they have experienced racist bullying in the past month. It also found half of the respondents have seen others being bullied because of their ethnicity.
