Erica Stanford insists her curriculum reform adds sunlight and accountability to the sector. In a pre-Budget announcement, the Education Minister has announced $131 million to help improve students' reading, writing, and maths. It'll also include more professional development for teachers and school leaders in those areas. Stanford told Mike Hosking New Zealand's been in a black hole for some time. She says students aren't proficient in basic timetables, facts, or reading until they get to high school, and are struggling. She says we've been in the grip of a liberal education experiment that states assessing young people is bad for their mental health – which is ridiculous. Also in the announcement was a pledge to give schools more maths and literacy resources, and 36 extra maths intervention teachers. Stanford told Hosking more teachers are added every Budget, and she'd fund more if she could. She says they'll take small groups struggling with maths out of classes to get them where they need to be, and it's never been done before.

Concern that NCEA's revamp could be a little old fashioned. The Education Minister has announced more detail on what's replacing NCEA.

A major roll out of the Government's new curriculum's been delayed for some subjects following months of pressure from the education sector. The new curriculum for science and social sciences will be phased in across two years, beginning at the start of 2027. The new health and physical education, the arts, technology, and languages curriculum will also begin to be rolled out in 2029. Education Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking science and social sciences are just as important as maths and literacy. She says the reason Social Sciences have been prioritised is that it's so knowledge rich, which is so important for young people. Stanford told Hosking students can't afford to go back to the old curriculum.

Earlier, Auckland University's Darren Powell earlier claimed knowledge vital for students' understanding of mental heath, food and nutrition and sexual education is absent from the draft. Erica Stanford says the curriculum covers health, wellness, tolerance and consent, and the Government was very careful in planning this out. "Everything in the curriculum, all the way up, is about mental health and building resilient kids and doing it in a wonderfully positive way.

Decades ago, Ontario's colleges operated with a goal of improving local economies and regional communities. Now, Premier Doug Ford claims if you're not in a highly-skilled field, the baskets you're looking to weave are no where to be found. With cuts to OSAP on the provincial level, and caps to student visas on the federal level, the mission of our colleges have seemed to have shifted towards keeping the lights on with as little investment as possible. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Emilda Thavaratnam, an educator at Centennial College. She authored an article called 'Ontario's colleges were founded to serve local and regional needs — have we forgotten that?'.

It's announced nationally consistent assessments and reporting will be rolled out this year for reading, writing, and math. Reports are also planned to give advice to parents on how they can help out at home. Education Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking the reports will be filled with intense detail, for example, the maths report will actually show results in algebra, geometry, and measurement. She says parents will now know in detail exactly where their children are at. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Education Minister says new nationwide school reporting will give teachers and parents clearer data on how students are performing. Nationally consistent assessments in reading, writing and maths will roll out this year, with students ranked against one of five progress indicators twice a year. Erica Stanford says parent reports already exist - but they're inconsistent across schools. "You get some schools who provide very detail-rich reporting and others who don't do that same level of detail. So we're just trying to get consistency across the board."
