Erica Stanford: Education Minister on the Auditor-General's report on equity in the education system

The Education Minister hopes curriculum changes gives policymakers more information to work with.  An auditor-general report has found the Ministry of Education lacks information prior to someone entering the NCEA system.  The report suggests it's difficult to identify and tackle equity issues in the education system without more information.  Education Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking students will be assessed to measure progress through structured literacy and maths.  She says they're about to bring in twice-yearly consistent testing.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
