My Department's Circular 7/88, which was issued to schools in March 1988, amended rule 130 of the Rules for National Schools which deals with discipline and also set out guidelines on discipline for boards of management and teachers. The circular provided for a review of the operation of the amended rule. My Department are carrying out this review at present in consultation with the interested parties.
