There are only so many trained teachers who can teach in Maori. And some others who are not fluent enough to teach in the language, but are conversant. Such charter schools can also be a way to bring Maori language speakers into educational roles (teacher ...
Back then less than 25% even did the 7th form year/year 13. NCEA Level 2 equivalent was all that was required for nurse and teacher training. And there is some doubt whether nursing and training at the university improves outcomes (some teachers are ...

The birth rate - now around 1.5 per woman (we had been around 2 in recent decades - after the c1960 peak of 4). Freedom of choice related to poverty during fertility years (land - housing cost). We've done WFF tax credits, parental leave, pre school care ...

There is the question of mainstreaming and school choice. Some Maori may want a post Kohanga Reo option. They may value a bi-lingual education environment. If based on parent choice, it creates a family and community base. This is one aspect to charter ...
At least we are free of the spectre of the hounder being in the role. Taking someone out trying to realise change when it was needed and having nothing to offer when in the job ... And I still do not know if Michael Wood's speech in the House in 2022 was a...
Salt has an impact on blood pressure - kidneys and the brain. Often it is the lowest cost food in supermarkets (noodles, soups, canned foods) that has the most salt additive. https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/05/14/government-rejects-plea-to-reduce-salt-in-food...

I do like the fact that Maori under charter schools get smaller classes and thus a better chance. Labour should say they like that part of the concept but would like to reduce class sizes (and or more teacher aide support) in state (zone) schools too.
