The RIght-Wing agenda of the NZ government

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.

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
