All schools have rules tailored to the specific contexts of their individual environments. However, we believe that this situation presents a unique opportunity for stakeholders to unite in a collective effort to, as much as possible, standardise school rules within the parameters of the Education Act.
To this end, the NPA stands ready to engage the respective stakeholders in an effort to begin this consultation process.
