This is a tragedy in the making. The total collapse of New Zealand’s education system. A deliberate assassination couldn’t do a better hit job. But all in all, it’s just another Brick in The Wall…

Just 2 per cent of decile 1 students passed the writing component of new standards that from 2024 will be required for NCEA assessments.
Ahead of the nationwide rollout the Ministry of Education has conducted pilots last year and this year.
The report – released on Friday – showed overall just 64 per cent passed the reading standard, 34 per cent writing and 56 per cent numeracy, Te Reo Matatini (Maori language literacy) at 24 per cent and Pangarau (Maori language numeracy) at just 18 per cent.
But a deeper dive into the data shows the differences between deciles, or socio-economic markets, are stark.
At decile 1, the lowest decile, just 2 per cent passed the writing component – compared to 62 per cent at decile 10, the highest.
In reading the difference between decile 1 and 10 was 24 per cent to 85 per cent, and in numeracy 10 per cent compared to 78 per cent. SOURCE: NZ Herald
Erica Stanford: Does she agree that the purpose of education is to expand a child’s mind outside of their own localised experiences, and, if not, how does she ever expect New Zealand children to succeed on the world stage?
Hon JAN TINETTI: That’s why we are putting these pilots in place: to improve our education system so our children will not only survive but thrive.

Well, Ms. Tinetti, I’d say your pilot has nose-dived crashed the ‘plane.
Of course, those pulling the strings from behind the curtain will be cackling with glee as they bring down The West without firing a single shot. Those doing the dirty work are simply tools: Useful idiots. Martin
