  1. CW: NZPol summary of education changes

    "It’s all unfolding upon the foundations of an industrial dispute between the government and teachers that contributed to one of the largest worker strikes in this country since 1979. In short, there is an awful lot going on in this country’s schools. So, in case you blinked, here’s a rundown of the recent education changes worth having on your radar."

  5. "We can't have this namby-pamby stand in education where we don't like winners and losers, we just like winners."

    #BarrySoper, 2025

    rnz.co.nz/podcast/mediawatch?s

    Why not? Why would we choose to structurally frame people struggling at school as "losers"? Why choose to make education a zero-sum game, when there's no evidence that moving away from that toxic framing does any harm?

  9. CW: NZPol NCEA neurodivergent/disabled

    "In contrast, the proposed changes treat difference as an exception that one must seek exemptions for, not normative. Doing so contributes to feelings of isolation and exclusion, and create additional barriers to learning. The proposal has no clear commitment to inclusion, no visibility of disability, and no reassurance that assessments will be designed with neurodivergent and disabled students in mind."

  14. CW: NZPol NCEA Lack of time to prepare

    "In reality, we don’t have two and a half years to deliberate and prepare for this change. We have less than a few months from the period for feedback closes in September until 2028’s year 11s begin their journey through high school. You cannot in good faith argue that this is “careful phasing” when you are giving teachers so little time to prepare and implement this new set of qualifications. "

  28. Those trades who think the changes with #NCEA are good — looking forward to hearing what you think after this government fucks it all up. BTW, we already have Gateway programmes in place #nzpol

  30. CW: NZPol what do students think of NCEA

    "The Education Review Office thinks NCEA Level 1 “needs substantial reform” and parents are pressuring schools to ditch the qualification altogether. But what do the people actually doing NCEA think?

    They don’t seem to be asked very often, so we took it to the comments section.

    Here’s what we learned, in their own words. "

  34. CW: Religious instruction vs Religious Studies

    This is super interesting:

    stuff.co.nz/national/300747590

    As someone who went to a Catholic High School and went back to work there (for a while), my agnostic thoughts are probably clouded by some good experiences but I wholeheartedly agree with

    "...70% of participants were against religious instruction in schools, and 78% were supportive of religious studies"
