Get the Priorities Right
Get the Priorities Right
Above all, the empire building of the university, and the status-seeking of the college must not be at the expense of teacher education and the future education of New Zealand children.
Teaching needs people from all age-groups groups, with a wide range of economic and cultural backgrounds. It must encourage everyone who wants to become a teacher.
The degree based structure would exclude a large number of people from this field.
Let's fight for good education for our children!
