The results of a recent pilot study of students not achieving literacy and numeracy standards in NCEA have many parents concerned about their children's education.
With the last two years being extremely disruptive, students' results are now starting to show the effect of this, and the impact on their education. This, combined with the evidence showing literacy and numeracy rates have been declining over the past two decades; something has to change. Absenteeism is on the rise and a 2020 UNICEF report found that more than a third of the country’s 15-year-olds struggled to read and write, with 64.6% having only basic skills in reading and maths.
These alarming statistics mean more parents are now supplementing their children's learning with additional support more than before. NumberWorks’nWords provides this opportunity and supports students with their learning in both English and maths.
A comprehensive free initial assessment provides an opportunity for parents to meet the team, discover how their child is going, collaborate on learning goals, and see for themselves how effective and enjoyable tutoring with NumberWorks’nWords is.
NumberWorks’nWords knows teachers work hard, and they look forward to some systemic changes that will increase the attainment of all New Zealand children.
