The Enigma that is the New Zealand Education System
NZ education statistics are not just appalling with regards to wealth. For ethnicity 61% of Asian students leave school with UE, 43% of European, 24% of Pasifika and 19% of Maori. Girls also exceed boys by significant margins.
NZ has many issues to tackle in terms of education. One is the political malaise. Of the last 18 years 12 have been National Party led and 6 Labour Party led. National typically makes a lot of noise but fundamentally change very little. The current government has typified that. They also create large divisions and govern for the middle/upper class.
