Do you support national standards in education?

Yes, but just teach the students their potential instead of being so focused on uniforms/uniform testing

A lot more time should be spent on discovering and nuturing each students natural abilities and what they enjoy. But basic national standards should be met as well.

If we teach every student to their potential standards will rise without endless asessment to the detriment of teaching in pursuit of standards.

We need to teach the basics well, using different methods, as we know people learn in different ways. I also believe financial education should be taught.

I think the NZ education system needs to be updated, taking into account methods from countries performing better e.g. the UK, Japan, the US that are financially viable.

don't knoq

At high school level everyone should have the opportunity to learn basic maths, English and science. Though more practical classes like finances and budgeting to basic day to life skills. There should be lease focus on the academic results and more focus of the progress as an individual.

They need to increase the standards

National standards, but with ability to customise for each students potential.

No this system is built to cater to the colonised system it is made for simple minded boring people hence why Māori are failing at your schools

We should be able to compete on the international stage for standards in education

Continue the concept of national standards but leave room for individualized needs

I agree but not with the new NCEA, keep it with the old one where everything is worth different credits

Life skills and work readiness is critical

Te Reo Māori should be compulsory in schools

Teach to each students potential with clear learning goals. Too much teaching time is wasted on over assesdment

Have uniform testing as well as teaching to each student's potential

Yes, but it needs to be changed

Teach real world skills and problem solving. Make exams harder but open book like the real world

Minimum standards are good but shouldn't be the be all and end all

Yes but could be better

National standards are often minimum standards

No, increase the education level of teachers to Masters degree so our brightest are influencing our future

no, we need to improve our education system

Public education requires a certain level of streamlining, but not through a one-size-fits-all approach. There should be less emphasis on standardised testing and some flexibility for each student with different needs.

Independent evaluators of NZ standards are necessary

Education system needs a complete overall it is out of date

Yes but we need to fund higher ratio of teacher aides in classrooms to be able to help those with learning difficulties. Not have kids who just think different fall through the cracks and feel dumb

Japan's method of education should be implemented.

I am unsure and would like to see more research before I make a decision.

Donald trump and New Zealand prime minister is uniform and schools attend

Yes, I think there should be a national standard, but students who excel or fall behind need to be accommodated for

Yes, but the current system needs to be redone

Yes, but with exceptions given to students with high potential.

Yes but it’s not right for every student and every teacher

yes, but to a certain age of schooling.

I would like to say that it would be better to customise teaching practices to better meet the different learning needs of different students but this is not currently financially viable.

Yes but also provide information about the student's individual potential as well

There should be a more learning based education system. NZ systems feels far too testing; students are trying to crack the code to pass the test, it should be more about how much can we learn/teach, not how much/what do they need to know to pass

don’t know

Futties with increase no was for high schools with no bodies I nidell. Bises bises is like gambling and help drink line grunks ongoing process the point is leave mental and iisness is increase dhb all across new Zealand opening borders

The NZ education system needs to change. Boys and girls learn differently

The whole education Curriculum needs to be updated -

somewhat, there needs to be a middle ground - it’s too difficult to teach to each unique student and society doesn’t cater to everyone separately

No, teaching should be the most revered, respected and rewarded role in society. It currently is not. Allow for teachers to get paid their worth in order to make teaching more appealing.

Yes but give more support to those that fall below

schools need to be teaching budgeting, financial planning and better career plannibg

I think there needs to be an assessment model so we can see if children are struggle, middle of the pack or thriving but having room for the fact that not everyone will thrive in the schooling system, and some would be better off out of it.
