The
government is pushing its sale of assets programme through Select
Committee process, making a mockery of what goes for democratic
process despite huge public opposition to the sales.
The
government is intending increasing class sizes at NZ schools while
somehow having the money to bail out private schools – all part of
an ultra-Right agenda.
In
the meantime they are denying having discussed forced sterilisation ;
this denial is either a massive operation to divert attention away
from the real issues or a move towards eugenics. You decide.
Cuts
at ministry urged instead of schools
Secondary
Principals Association president Patrick Walsh says the Government
should cut staffing at the Ministry of Education, not in schools.
26
April, 2012
School
sector groups are scheduled to meet Education Minister Hekia Parata
on Friday to discuss new staffing ratios that will increase class
sizes at most schools and save more than $70 million per year by
2015.
They
will be urging the minister to find those savings from somewhere
other than school's staffing entitlements.
They
say the money could come from ministry staffing and IT projects,
school property and extra funding for private schools.
Mr
Walsh says the Government should not try to make savings from
frontline teaching positions.
He
says the Government could also cut its planned trial of charter
schools
