Would be good if the Herald advised the specfic origin of those roll numbers used, I suspect they are they based on March Roll Returns to MoE, not end of year Roll. My wife's school shows a small decrease 2003 >2012, but the 2012 end of year roll number was higher that than value shown in infographic.

I no longer sub to any NZ printed news formats, and have only one or 2 subs for specialty mags (photography etc). As Alastair says above, I definitely get value from PA, across all the contributors, both directly and also where they channel my further investigation of issues, ideas and concepts on the net. All success to you, and I hope the $25/mth helps.

this, <grrr> and the $350M for Change Leaders etc are about the imposition of this approach. The Change Leaders will be assessed on outcomes - not child focused education ones, but education testing & data analysis ones - potentially to come from corporate providers (because the sector cant be trusted). And further this Change Leaders etc group will likely be non-union/partisanally selected to drive in the next part of wedge.

Excuse the quality, esp audio, but it’s been through a few format changes in its 22 years -
Agree that Whanarua Bay is a most entrancing place. My mum and her partner expanded the original trial Macadamia Nut farm above the bay during the mid 90's for 7-8 years as an escape and recharge from their time as editors in the AU newspaper business. I have the Country Calendar episode on CD somewhere which I should put up on You Tube. As a Gisborne lad spent many holidays at Te Kaha, Waihou Bay and Hicks Bay, before taking up surfing and roaming along this coast and all the way down to Mahia.

The Primary School my wife is a DP at with close to 800 children has to get in speakers of 21 languages to conduct parent-teacher interviews. The latest being Pashtun and Nepali.
The school is great example of inclusiveness being a unconscious competence, both with so many ethnic groups present but also the 40 or so severely physically & intellectually disabled children who are involved and engaged in playground games and sports as much as possible by the other children. -
