as participation falls
A reading programme for children created in New Zealand in the 1980s, and used by schools overseas, is now used by less than half of all eligible primary schools here.
It comes as new data from the Ministry of Education was released today, revealing that numbers in the programme is at its lowest point.
In the report, the ministry noted that “despite much of the country being in lockdown for the final months of 2021, there is no large impact evident in the data. However, a few Covid impacts did show through".
