Would you like to remind us cause as far as I know you own daycare centers. Not exactly related to later education. Maybe I missed something...

Whatya talking about Willis? It’s all education… it’s all linked, a continuum and none work in isolation.

- Licensee of several childcare centres
- 2 terms as School board of trustees - primary including treasurer
- 16? ERO visits personally involved in.
- More Ministry of Education and PLD seminars than care to remember
- Employed over 100 registered teachers over the years.
- wife’s a qualified ECE and Primary teacher

I regard myself as fairly knowledgable within education

Help @ShaunJohnson7 help!!!

But seriously, I guess the "far right disinformation dwelling racist homophobic misogynist" label fits pretty well for you Frank too.

Education and health are never in a vacuum and multiple factors contribute to this. What we need to look at is long term data.

Your data if you went back 1-2 more years looks very different.

Attendance
2020–21: stable
2022: major collapse
2023: still weak
2024–2026: recovery underway

NZ attendance is improving fast, but still not back to pre-COVID levels

So while it's improving, it's not national having a crack down, it's more likely the covid kids are slowly getting back their education.

Certain year groups were effected more due to lockdowns. If you were 5 when it happened, you lost fundamental social skills.

If you were year 9, you didn't get the skills you needed to pass ncea lvl 1 and numeracy test.

If you were less privileged you were screwed no matter what.

Here is my solution but it would never happen. Social housing should never be lumped into a few suburbs. When that happens all those kids all go to the same school. Poor begets poor, uneducated begets uneducated. Not saying a minor amount of people don't lift themselves out of poverty but the majority stays like that.

As teachers, they only have so much time to attend to individual kids. If all 30 are needy, then essentially no one gets help.

If all 30 kids are below in mathematics, how do you help them to pass? Those below kids probably already hate mathematics and have nothing to strive for and this the cycle continues.

Wiz, while you are showing some stats and there are years that show improvement, but they aren't significant (in mathematics this essentially means no change) and to say National are doing a great job is false. But in saying that, Labour haven't done a good job either.

Government says it's improved on all five of its health targets

The Health Minister says the improvements included shorter stays in emergency departments and shorter waits for specialists.

Data shows highest term one regular attendance since 2020

Regular attendance is when a student attends 90 percent of half days in a term.

By trying to change a system during a worldwide pandemic? And at what cost.

Come on home Andrew, this is your time Stood twice for parliament in his home town and got done both times by Audrey Youngs brother.

And the idiots in Wellington think he's the answer for a Mayor.

Er no Rick. Try how much this government has slashed and burnt from the health system in last three years. People have died because of the austerity and cuts.

I'm sure you're aware of this it's core right wing policy

lol… you attack the media on the same day when they said he ‘felt Ardern had prevented him from doing his job properly.

Now you back the left media when they have been thoroughly unprofessional gossip mongers.

Your absolute bias on the same day is stunning. Only back the media when it’s your side

You're quite an angry poster. Maybe you shouldn't comment any more. Are you doing okay?

But seriously, as always quite laughable

Replied in another post but it would pay to check your facts as to the blunder made by commencing and continuing with a major restructuring of the health system during a pandemic.

Not saying it didn't need a look at but jesus wept, to start and even continue on with it during those times was completely incompetent.

People may have died due to that blindless following of doctrine

Big claims. Can you back up the govt slashed and burned health funding?

2020: $20–21B
2021: $22.8B
2022: $27.8B
2023: $28.5B
2024: $30.0B
2025: $30.3B

Seems to have gone up every year to me… even locking in the higher covid funding once COVID’s eased. Seems good responsible leadership from National.

Whoa, so as far as the health system is concerned, you don't think they inherited a clusterfuck started by Big Andy and his cohorts during Covid.

The present and all previous governments in my time as a voter have struggled with health. Can't ever remember any punters being happy with the state of the health system here or in the majority of countries around the world.

However, that debacle during Covid should never be forgotten because there was no need to go that far at that time.

And spend that amount of money which could have been used elsewhere
