Podcasts about education ministry

Worried secondary principals are heading for a clash with the Education Ministry over an apparently simple question - when is a school open and when is it closed? Education correspondent John Gerritsen reports.

We are halfway through the year, but there have already been a number of confronting headlines about early childhood education providers in 2025. Earlier this year, the Herald ran a number of stories about children “escaping” from centres around the country. And in the last week, two coroners reports have come out highlighting tragic deaths that befell two young children. The news comes after a review by the Ministry of Regulation into ECEs and how they operate, with another review just announced by the Education Ministry into funding coming next. Today on The Front Page, we are discussing what’s happening with rules, regulations and funding with Dr Sarah Alexander, chief advisor to the Office of Early Childhood Education.

Pushing to prosecute parents of chronically truant kids is a pointless exercise according to one school principal. Associate Education Minister David Seymour is leading the government charge to get more kids back in class. He's announced the Education Ministry is proactively contacting schools and attendance officers to make sure parents of chronically absent students are referred to them for possible prosecution. Rangiora High School Principal Bruce Kearney spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Education Ministry has appointed a Kings Counsel to hunt the source of a series of leaks to RNZ. The ministry wrote to RNZ to share an internal message announcing the investigation by Michael Heron KC. It also invited RNZ to meet with Mr Heron - an invitation we've refused. This happened just hours after we revealed that a Public Service Commission push to stop leaks was itself leaked to RNZ. John Gerritsen is our education correspondent.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 147-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 20,691 on turnover of $4.8-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan saw earlier gains erased to close little changed Thursday as contract chipmaker TSMC suffered last-ditch selling amid lingering concerns over the possibility of tariffs threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump. Non-tech stocks largely moved in weakness, but so-called "military concept stocks continued to attract rotational buying as aircraft maintenance services provider Air Asia Co. soared 10 percent, the maximum daily increase. Analysts say caution about Trump's tariffs on semiconductors remain, prompting (推動) investors to lock in profits with TSMC as their major target. Taiwan and Estonia sign MOUs on aerospace and defense collaboration A Taiwanese business delegation has signed two memoranda of understanding with Estonia to facilitate collaboration between aerospace and defense industries. According to the Taipei Mission in the Republic of Latvia, the delegation signed the M-O-Us with the Estonian Defence and Aerospace Industry Association and the Estonia Aviation Cluster in Tallinn. Taiwan's top envoy to Estonia, Andrew Lee is describing the signing of the deals as an important step for collaboration (合作) between the two countries - and one that opens a new chapter for collaboration between the two countries on drones, aerospace and related industries. The delegation to Estonia was led by Hu Kai-hong of the Taiwan Excellence Drone International Business Opportunities Alliance. Israel Closes UNRWA Schools Israel has closed six U.N. schools in east Jerusalem, forcing students to leave early and throwing the education of more than 800 students into question. Last month, heavily armed Israeli police and Education Ministry officials ordered six schools in east Jerusalem to close within 30 days. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, called UNRWA, runs the six schools. UNRWA also runs schools in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, which continue to operate. Israel claims that UNRWA schools teach antisemitic content and anti-Israel sentiment (觀點), which UNRWA denies. US FEMA Head Dismissed The acting director of the US's Federal Emergency Management Agency is out of a job, a day after he told lawmakers he didn't support disbanding the disaster relief agency. US President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have both recently suggested the agency known as FEMA should be eliminated (廢止). Ira Spitzer reports. Peru Elated on Election of Pope Peruvians are elated after a Catholic cardinal who spent years guiding the faithful in the South American country was elected pope. Pope Leo XIV, elected Thursday, is a dual citizen of the United States and Peru, where he first served as a missionary and then as an archbishop. That made him the first pope from each country. In Peru's capital, Lima, the bells of the cathedral rang after Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was announced as Pope Francis' successor. People outside the church quickly expressed their desire (希望，想要) for a papal visit at one point. That was the I.C.R.T.

An error by the Education Ministry has meant teacher shortages for this year and last were not forecasted. The Ministry is now projecting that schools will be 1250 teachers short between 2025 and 2027. Principals and teachers' unions have had to combine classes and cancel subjects due to the shortage. PPTA President Chris Abercombie talks to Ryan Bridge. LISTEN ABOVE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Education Ministry says schools are likely to be short more than 1200 teachers this year. Education correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Corin Dann.

In October, the Education Ministry published a report alleging that a group of teachers at an elementary school in Côte-des-Neiges had for years created a toxic atmosphere. That led to a series of investigations into other schools. In the wake of those events, about 30 Montrealers gathered at the Maison des Jeunes in Côte-des-Neiges, for a conversation with CBC host Nantali Indongo about the state of our schools. In this episode, we'll hear from some of those students, parents, teachers, administrators, community organizers and researchers, about their experiences in the Quebec education system and what they think needs to change.

A school bus service that has operated in Hawke's Bay for the last two decades has been cut by the Education Ministry - impacting plenty of students, parents and educators. The Ministry has cut the Clive school bus service after a review, claiming there were public buses the students could use instead. Havelock North Intermediate principal Nigel Messervy says the public bus route would be a longer one for students and they wouldn't get back to Clive until 5pm. "In some cases, those children are then walking to their homes - which might be up to a couple of kilometres away. That's a massive day." Havelock North High School principal Joel Wilton agrees the longer commute time doesn't seem appropriate. "I think a lot of parents are finding it pretty difficult in the current situation, even with public transport or school transport available to them - and this is kind of another hurdle."

The Education Ministry has scored poor marks for its understanding of inequality among school children. Dr Aaron Wilson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Education Minister Erica Stanford has taken responsibility for school property away from the Ministry of Education after an inquiry found it cumbersome, slow to respond to roll growth and lacking in transparency around funding.

Schools can forget about flash architecturally-designed classrooms. Instead, the government wants more pre-constructed buildings and fewer bespoke designs. It is overhauling the way school property is managed following a damning review that said the Education Ministry's management of the 30 billion dollar portfolio is bureaucratic and inefficient, education correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Education Ministry has identified factors linked to a 90 percent likelihood teens will not get University Entrance. The study also found Asian and Pacific teens are more likely to get an NCEA qualification than Maori and European teens from similar socio-economic backgrounds. The ministry says it could develop an early warning system for identifying students at risk of failure though principals say they don't need it, education correspondent John Gerritsen reports.

Emails show an Education Ministry staff member was worried that appointments to the teams writing the new English and maths curriculums would break the ministry's code of conduct. The English Teachers Association says its members are shocked by the way appointments were handled. Education reporter John Gerritsen spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Schools are struggling to find enough specialist teachers for students with English as a second language. Stats NZ data shows a net figure of almost 22,000 5-to-17 year olds arrived in the year to May this year. The Education Ministry expects to add a further 371 classrooms by the end of the year, to meet roll growth. Secondary Principals Association President Vaughan Couillault says those figures can mean a few hundred more teachers are needed. "There's not enough teachers - full stop. You can end the sentence there, particularly in the secondary space. But at the moment, there's particular pressure on the ESOL area."

Rapid growth has pushed more than a hundred schools well beyond their classroom capacity - forcing them to teach students in staff rooms and libraries. The Education Ministry has warned the government new schools and classrooms are urgently needed in high-growth areas and parts of Auckland and Canterbury have critical unmet demand. A roll bulge is moving through secondary schools and last year migration brought an extra 20-thousand school children, half of them in Auckland. Education Correspondent John Gerritsen has more.

The Education Ministry has paused major staff cuts due to a legal challenge it says could force it to start all over again. The union's assistant secretary Fleur Fitzsimons spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss. The Education Ministry declined Morning Report's interview request.

Multiple ministries in China are ramping up efforts to ensure the safety and fairness of the national college entrance examinations, or gaokao, which will kick off on Friday.中国多部门全力确保将于周五开始的全国高考的安全和公平。Data from the Ministry of Education shows that 13.42 million students have registered for this year's gaokao, an increase of 510,000 compared with last year. Local education authorities have been urged to strictly regulate management to ensure that the exams are conducted safely.教育部的数据显示，今年共有1342万学生报名参加高考，比去年增加51万人。地方教育部门已被敦促严格规范考试管理，全力确保安全平稳。The gaokao is one of the most important exams for Chinese students and is widely viewed as a key factor in determining a student's future prospects.高考是中国学生最重要的考试之一，被普遍视为决定学生发展前景的关键因素。Supervision should be strengthened over the entire exam process including question setting, printing and transportation of the exam papers and grading, the ministry said, adding that higher education institutions should ensure fairness and transparency during admission as well.教育部表示，应加强对考试全流程监管，包括命题、试卷印刷、运送、评卷，并补充，各高校也应确保考试招生过程的公正性和透明度。Meteorological, earthquake and other relevant departments have been asked to release timely information about any natural disasters before and after the exams, guiding local authorities to enhance their response in the event of exam-related emergencies.气象、地震和其他相关部门被要求在考试前后及时发布有关自然灾害的信息，指导各地提升涉考突发事件应急处置能力。The Education Ministry emphasized the importance of combating exam fraud to ensure justice. Special measures will be launched, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Security, to crack down on the sale of cheating devices and to eliminate proxy test-takers, it said.教育部强调了打击考试舞弊以确保公正的重要性。教育部表示，将会同公安部合作开展专项行动，打击销售作弊器材、打击替考作弊等行为。Security check protocols for candidates entering exam venues should be strictly enforced, while testing centers should be fully equipped with intelligent security gates, and wireless signals should be effectively blocked in exam halls, the Education Ministry said.教育部表示，应严格执行考生进入考点（考场）安全检查工作规范，同时考点应实现智能安检门全配备，并应有效屏蔽考点考场无线电信号。Smart monitoring and inspection of exam venues will be tightened to prevent high-tech cheating, it added.它补充到，将加推进考场智能巡查，以防止高科技作弊。Many higher education institutions also issued notices recently to strengthen student management and prevent proxies or other forms of exam assistance.多所高校最近也发文要求加强学生管理，严防替考、助考等。Yantai University in Shandong province said in a circular late last month that it will resolutely prevent its students from acting as proxies in gaokao.山东省烟台大学上月底在一份通知中表示，将坚决杜绝高校学生在高考中替考。It is essential for students to understand the severe consequences of getting involved in cheating, and they should be educated to refuse any form of fraud, whether online or offline, the university said.该大学表示，学生了解参与作弊的严重后果至关重要，他们应该接受教育，拒绝任何形式的作弊，无论是线上还是线下。As this year's gaokao overlaps with the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, which starts on Saturday, some university students will not be present on campus, posing threats to student management and increasing the possibilities of cheating.由于今年的高考与周六开始的为期三天的端午节假期重叠，部分学生不在学校，这对学生管理构成威胁，并增加了作弊的可能性。Local authorities have been urged to regulate exam-related training institutions and strictly combat illegal activities such as false advertising and charging expensive consultation fees.各地被敦促监管与考试相关的培训机构，并严格打击虚假广告和收取高额咨询费等非法活动。Meanwhile, candidates will be provided with personalized services in terms of transportation, accommodations and medical care, the Education Ministry said.教育部表示，与此同时，考生将在交通、住宿和医疗方面获得个性化服务。Customized Braille exam papers will be prepared for 15 visually challenged candidates nationwide, and over 11,000 candidates with disabilities will be provided with convenient accommodations, it added.它补充说，将为全国15名视力障碍考生准备定制的盲文试卷，并将为超过11000名残疾考生提供便利。Ren Yanhong, a mental health teacher at Beijing Academy, said that gaokao takers should turn their anxiety into motivation to do well on the exams. "When anxiety occurs, students should be aware of what happened instead of being trapped in the feelings. The biggest enemy of anxiety is action," Ren said.北京中学心理健康教师任艳红表示，高考考生应该将焦虑转化为取得好成绩的动力。任艳红表示说：“当焦虑发生时，学生应该意识到发生了什么，而不是被困在这种感觉中。焦虑最大的敌人是行动。”national college entrance examinations全国高考exam fraud考试作弊proxy test-takers替考者

Students who steadfastly go to school, even if they're sick, is one of the secrets behind their high attendance. Schools say attendance is improving after dipping badly in recent years, but there is no magic answer. Their comments come as the Education Ministry prepares to release the next batch of truancy figures later this week. Education correspondent John Gerritsen reports.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has informed the Defense Ministry and Education Ministry that the process of drafting members of the ultra-Orthodox community into the army must begin now. She also warned against any attempt to continue funding yeshivas that harbor students who dodge their army service, against court orders.  In a letter to legal advisers for both ministries, Baharav-Miara and Deputy Attorney General Gil Lemon noted that the state needs to tell the High Court of Justice by the end of the month what steps it is taking to draft the Haredi community. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Prof Benny Brown from Jerusalem's Hebrew University and the Israel Democracy Institute  and asked him about the Ultra-Orthodox response to the draft decision and the cutting of yeshiva funds.

A Rolleston College student wept as she told Education Ministry staff that classes are held in corridors because the school is bursting at the seams.  A community meeting was held in the Canterbury town last night to discuss the Ministry's decision to strip back plans for its second campus - even though construction is already under way.  Niva Chittock was there. 

Some licensed companies have been doing a bad job of removing asbestos at schools. It has forced the Education Ministry to look at closer controls. Phil Pennington spoke to Corin Dann.

Some teachers refused to help when the government asked them just days before Christmas to write guidelines for teaching new NCEA standards. They weren't swayed by the offer of $5000 to complete the work by late January and Education Ministry staff had to do nearly half of it themselves. In the end some of it wasn't up to scratch - a third were sent back for revision. RNZ education correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Corin Dann.

The Secretary for Education Iona Holsted has told MPs the single biggest investment ever made in schools has failed to deliver and politicians' policy flip-flops are partly to blame for schools' achievement problems. Holsted was speaking to Parliament's Education and Workforce Select Committee which is holding its annual review of the Education Ministry's performance. The review is continuing this morning with the committee expecting to hear from the Education Minister Erica Stanford and Associate Education Minister David Seymour. Education Correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Government is launching an inquiry into the school property system, which it says is bordering on crisis with major cost blowouts and stalled projects. Earlier this month, RNZ revealed that the Education Ministry had paused 20 building projects due to rising costs, changing roll growth forecasts, or reprioritisation. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch reports.

A youth law centre says some schools have wrongly denied enrolment to local children. Last month the Education Ministry intervened after an Auckland school refused to enrol a child living within its enrolment zone. The school had demanded the family produce a 12-month tenancy agreement. YouthLaw general manager Darryn Aitchison spoke to Morning Report.

Projects to build well over a hundred classrooms, two teaching blocks and two school gyms are in doubt. The Education Ministry admits it has pushed pause as it embarks on a nationwide cost-cutting exercise. The way it has run this has so far forced the Secretary of the Education to apologise to one west Auckland school. And an Invercargill college says its buildings are 'shot' and leak on children's heads, and it must get its 14 new classrooms. Phil Pennington spoke to Corin Dann

Education Ministry documents reveal there were major gaps in the monitoring of charter schools between 2013 and 2018, some of which the government of the day declined to fix. The gaps included student achievement, finances, property and even whether the schools were attracting the priority learners they were intended to serve. The details come from "close out" reports completed in 2019 and obtained by RNZ under the Official Information Act. RNZ education correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Charlotte Cook.

The number of unqualified people working as school teachers has more than doubled since the pandemic began. Education Ministry figures show more than 1,800 people were working in schools in December with what's known as Limited Authority to Teach. There were fewer than 900 at the same time in 2019. What's more, three of those people are working as principals. RNZ education correspondent John Gerritsen reports.

Some former charter schools are interested in leaving the state system and returning to charter or partnership school status. The government is reintroducing the publicly funded private schools which ran under contracts with the Education Ministry. Eleven of the schools still exist as designated character or integrated state schools. Education correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Corin Dann.
