NZEI National Exec

There are dark forces at work! Be wary of an administration that places millions of dollars into private education whilst families and schools around NZ continue to struggle. It is a curious thing that the prisons are full of illiterate, hearing impaired educational dropouts, yet to cure the problem we give millions to the already privileged! Go figure. Then there's national standards, let's keep Anne Tolley honest on this one. Honest and clear reporting to parents is a great thing comparing schools on the basis of achievement levels on National standards is not and is most certainly not backed buy research. Then there is the suggestion that we suggest how the government can trim $95 million dollars off staffing! Get real! We don't have enough now, plus we have support staff paid less than our cleaners!
