Education authorities are recommending major changes to New Zealand’s education system after new figures showed the number of children leaving mainstream schoo…

Oh great, another report telling us what we already know. But hey, let's throw more money at the system instead of actually listening to parents and teachers. Bloody useless. 😤
Exactly. My niece struggled for years before moving to a special unit. Night and day difference. The system failed her.
yeah nah kids leaving mainstream schools cos the system's a joke. Overcrowded classrooms, no support for neurodivergent kids, and they wonder why parents are pulling them out. wake up ERO
facts. It's always about ticking boxes, not actual learning. Kids aren't widgets.
As a student, I can tell you the system needs an overhaul. Teachers are burnt out, resources are stretched thin, and the curriculum is outdated. But sure, blame the kids for 'opting out'.
My nephew was bullied relentlessly in mainstream school. Alternative education saved him. But the moan about funding is ridiculous - invest now or pay later for the social costs.

lol good luck. ERO reports are just for show. Nothing changes.
Double the kids leaving in a decade? That's a flashing red light. Our education system needs a serious shake-up, not just a report. My coffee's gone cold reading this.
100% agree. The mainstream system is designed for one-size-fits-all. Doesn't work for many kids.
Another taxpayer-funded report that will gather dust on a shelf. Meanwhile, young people with learning differences get left behind. What a load of crap.
sorry your nephew went through that. Same story here, it's heartbreaking how rigid schools are.
I run a small business and seeing kids not getting a proper education worries me. Future workforce right there. Sort it out before it's too late.
too many reports, not enough action. Classic NZ govt.
My son's school couldn't even manage his ADHD, wanted him medicated or out. We chose out. Shameful.
