Andy England: Darfield High School Principal on Labour's plan to pause educational reforms, set up independent council
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
A Canterbury principal likes the idea of taking politics out of curriculum decisions, but says it’ll be interesting to see whether that happens in practice.
If elected, Labour's promising a pause the Government's school curriculum overhaul, including delaying the replacement of NCEA by a year.
It also wants to establish an Independent Council for Curriculum and Assessment.
Darfield High School Principal Andy England told Ryan Bridge the proof will be in the pudding.
He says Labour is promising to make decisions guided by evidence rather than playing politics, but whether that does happen is up in the air.
