Ex-Education Ministry staffer says new school curriculum heavily politicised "I watched colleagues run back and forth to the Beehive for approval, watched academics and sector experts be removed," she says.

As #Luxon & #Stanford give their speeches on #NZEducation today, this is the reality behind the scenes.

We should not forget that Erica Stanford went to Atlas aligned center for independent studies late last year prior to the bill being entered.

There is an absolutely despicable bill in the starting stages in NZ around the education system, minister has the power to dissolve a integrated school if it cant be converted to a charter school.

"New Zealand deserves a national conversation about the future of our curriculum, not a unilateral import shaped by one minister’s holiday reading."

Currently at and English Teachers’ conference and…I am genuinely horrified how chaotic the roll-out of the rushed new curriculum is. It’s not even fully designed or tested and we are supposed to start teacher it in February.

#NCEA #NZEducation

The reasons that NCEA was introduced, remain valid. A move backwards to pushing for large numbers of students to leave school with no credentials is completely unnecessary damage to the lives of those rangitahi.

I really hope today’s P.E. Teachers do better.

Principals stunned as ministry looks for new reading, maths tests The Education Ministry has blindsided schools by going to market for a new national test.

Please, MoE, develop a new system BEFORE taking a wrecking ball to the old systems. Not that this government listens to educators before making decisions. #OneTermGovt #NZPol #NZEducation

Government accused of 'conspiracy' thinking in changes to sex ed There has been no consultation or guidance over planned changes to sex education, a teachers' union says.
