“Is this worth credits?”: The state of our secondary schools

Today for education week on The Wire, we look into some of the current challenges students and teachers face within secondary school education, particularly in relation to NCEA. We speak to the PPTA’s Jack Boyle, the NZ Institute’s Eric Crampton, as well as a teacher of 40-years (who also turns out to be Ximena’s mum) to try answer questions about how education policy has shaped the secondary school sector over the years, and about what measures can be taken to improve it.
