Education has the power to change lives
Let’s teach the basics brilliantly.
Education has the power to change lives. It allows children to gain the skills and knowledge they need for further education and to go on and lead successful lives.
With education being one of the most important building blocks in life, it is a tragedy to me and many others that only 34 per cent of children in Northland are attending school regularly. This is a staggering statistic, no matter how one defines ‘regular’.
So, why aren’t our tamariki attending school on a regular basis? There are many reasons, including failing student achievement that reduces engagement in subsequent years.
