It's no secret that New Zealand's performance in reading and maths has plunged over the past 20 years in both international and local surveys, a fact acknowledged earlier this year by the ministry, and now something is finally being done about it.
According to Associate Education Minister, Jan Tinetti, she believes we need to focus on addressing equity and lifting achievement because the way things are is not working well for all learners and we are trying to make it work better.
Reading, writing and maths should be taught more consistently across all schools, the government says, as it outlines the next steps in its plan to lift New Zealand's dire literacy and maths achievement levels.
"One of the things we're looking at doing is making certain that all your teachers have the same idea around how to teach English, how to teach Māori, how to teach maths. We know that they have to have the same idea, across every single teacher in this country."
