The announcement by our Minister Hekia Parata today that the government is to remove the changes to class teacher ratios is a welcome recognition that the original policy was both ill conceived and flawed. As a leader it takes some real fortitude to realise when you have made a huge mistake and be brave enough to fess up and make a change to right the wrong.
As committed educators here at Pinehill our only focus is delivering quality learning outcomes for our children and improving the achievement gains our students make.
There are other ways to save money in the education sector without compromising the quality learning most of our New Zealand schools are delivering.
At a time when savings need to be made in government expenditure, our challenge is work with the government in protecting the great things in our New Zealand education system.
Trust and collaboration is what is needed.
