Powerful education union NZEI Te Riu Roa has members involved in a pay equity claim which will now be scrapped, with no settlement reached. Auckland teacher aid and NZEI support staff negotiation leader Ally Kingi spoke to Corin Dann.
The future of a pay equity deal for teacher aides may fizzle out under newly introduced Government legislation. The proposed law, which would lift the threshold of pay equity claims of gender-discrimination, is expected to have its third reading this morning. A deal reached by union teacher aide members in 2020 is due to be reviewed - but may no longer go ahead. Union Member Ally Kingi told Ryan Bridge it was based on comparison between teacher aides and Corrections staff. She says it meticulously compared the general areas of responsibility for each group to the pay they received. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The government's proposed changes to ECE regulation have sparked concern among many early childhood educators. The New Zealand Education Institute or NZEI says called it a backwards step. Adding it will result in qualified teacher requirements watered down, safety criteria withdrawn, and quality teaching standards removed from centres' licensing requirements. NZEI says “ECE centres' profit margins are the winners here. Tamariki and teachers are the losers.” Producer Evie spoke to early childhood educator and early childhood representative on the NZEI National Executive Zane McCarthy about why the proposed changes are such cause for concern.

A Huntly school has pulled out of the government's revamped lunch programme altogether, blaming the poor quality of the meals.

Just days after celebrating Maori language week, Te Wiki O Te Reo, the Government has decided to axe a $30 million dollar Maori language programme for teachers in schools. Te Ahu o Te Reo Maori is a programme which develops teacher competency in Te Reo. Education Minister Erica Sanford has today announced the funding will be cut and diverted into publishing maths workbooks instead. The teachers union said they fought hard for years to have the programme which helped teachers understand the language, tikanga and Te Ao Maori and getting rid of the funding is a mistake, President of the NZEI, Mark Potter spoke to Susana Lei'ataua.

The Education sector is hoping today's Budget will address the staff shortages. $53 million was allocated to the training and recruitment of new teachers in a pre-Budget announcement, but NZEI's Mark Potter said that it's not going to be enough. He told Mike Hosking that they need both staffing and financial support, as well as specialists, therapists, psychologists, and so on to address the desperate needs around the country. They're hoping to see some increase in the Operational Funding Grant, as the increased cost of living as increased the cost of education, Potter said.

Teacher union, the NZEI, is attacking the government's plan to funnel funds into charter schools, arguing the money would be better spent in public education. NZEI President Mark Potter spoke to Corin Dann.
The Primary teachers' union NZEI wants to see literacy teaching methods that are personalised to students, and says it's risky for politicians to mandate classrooms too much. NZEI president Mark Potter spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
The Education Minister says teachers' stances on structured literacy are changing. The Government is putting $67 million from the Budget into bringing the learning method into state schools by the first term of 2025. The primary teachers' union, NZEI, says mandating a one-size-fits all approach does not work, and teachers know what is best for learners. But Minister Erica Stanford says she has evidence it works, citing figures from Maramarua School's principal. "His Māori students - 37 percent were at or above curriculum level for reading two years ago. Now he's got 67 percent using structured literacy."

An education union says there's more than one way to teach the basics in schools. The Government's committing $67 million in the Budget to roll-out structured literacy in state schools from 2025. It uses phonics to decode words - and teaches spelling skills and components like vocabulary, comprehension and writing. Educational Institute President Mark Potter says such methods are essential, but there are many. "Good, capable readers like yourself and myself - we use a variety of strategies. Phonics is only one of those strategies we do use." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Hawke's Bay principal is crying out for more support as the psychological trauma of Cyclone Gabrielle continues to drain staff and students. Nuhaka school, north of Wairoa, was flooded twice last year and is still operating out of its temporary site, a chapel. Principal Raelene McFarlane says both staff and students are still exhausted after last year and the support of teacher aides has been critical. It comes as the primary principals' union, NZEI, have released a report saying teachers and principals remain overworked and unsupported in the aftermath of the cyclone. It recommends that extra funding for the region's primary schools be reinstated for at least another 12 months. McFarlane spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Associate Health Minister Casey Costello has told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking she did not ask to remove the excise tax on tobacco. However, she conceded there was a line in a document from last year about removing it for three years. Costello declined an invitation to go on TVNZ's Breakfast this morning but has fronted up over her denial she specifically sought advice on freezing the tobacco excise tax. “It's just a broad document,” she said. “There's no involvement from big tobacco, this is just nonsense.” Costello confirmed she had links to the New Zealand Taxpayers' Union, but has no association or involvement with the tobacco industry. “I have sympathy [for smokers], I'm getting messaging from people who know they should stop smoking, but they're addicted.” She said prohibition doesn't cure addiction, and they want to look at a range of things to help people quit. Documents show Costello asked for advice on freezing the excise, despite denying in an interview with RNZ that she had specifically sought the advice. But when speaking during Question Time on Thursday, Costello doubled down, maintaining she had not specifically asked for the advice, and she had not written the documents she sent to officials. “The documentation is a range of historical policy positions and notes that were held in New Zealand First policy positions. Some of it relates to things that were passed in the legislation when New Zealand First was in Government. This is a range of points and positions and it's about five pages long.” She said her actions had been distorted by the media. “The fact is, I was asked a question about whether I had sought specific advice. I had not sought specific advice, which was the question I answered. I referred to a range of advice I had sought from officials,” she said. Costello said she was unsure who wrote the documents. Labour's health spokeswoman, Dr Ayesha Verrall, said the minister was still responsible for the documents she presented, and the Prime Minister should relieve Costello of her duties. “When a minister gives documents to officials, if that is done or collated by her office it is still her responsibility. Her office acts on her behalf, she needs to take responsibility for it.” Senior National Party minister Chris Bishop said that while ministers were responsible for things they gave officials, there was a question over whether they were responsible for the generation of that material. “I would argue they cannot be, in the same way that if, for example, a Labour Party minister gave a document to the Ministry of Education, that was the NZEI or the PPTA or the CTU, for example, they cannot be questioned about the CTU in Parliament. “They can be questioned about the handling of that document and what's in the document, but the generation of that document I think would fall outside the scope of ministerial responsibility.” Speaking to media after Question Time, he said the matter of the authorship of New Zealand First's policies was for Costello to answer, but he had certainly presented party policy to officials. He said talking to a range of groups was how the country gets good policy. “People have easy access to ministers and MPs in New Zealand. All political parties work with a range of groups when it comes to developing policy.” Standing in for the Prime Minister in the House, Act leader David Seymour said he had had assurances from all coalition partners they had had no funding from the tobacco industry. “I am confident that there has been no undue influence on the policies of this Government by the tobacco industry.” Seymour told reporters it was possible Costello had misinterpreted RNZ's questioning, and RNZ had misinterpreted her answers, which had caused confusion. “I think that she was being open to the best of her ability. The other thing I just say is this: We say we want people in our democracy to stand up, run for office, and become ministers, and actually go and listen, take the best advice, and make the best policy. She's done all that stuff and people are jumping all over her.” - NZ Herald with RNZ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Belief our poor PISA results stem from our high child poverty. Scores from 2022 in the international OECD test of student achievement show a big fall in Kiwi maths ability since 2018 - a continuing trend. Average reading and science scores aren't significantly different, but have also declined over time. NZEI President Mark Potter says what goes on at home has a huge impact on children's learning. "We've got a higher than OECD average number of children who don't eat on a regular basis at home, and there's a direct correlation with maths achievement. And that's found around the globe."

The new Government needs to find a quarter of a billion dollars to settle a pay parity deal with early childhood teachers. A previous cost estimate for the settlement was found to be vastly too low. NZEI says the outgoing Government committed to paying teachers. National Secretary Stephanie Mills says problems in the sector must be sorted - or things will only get worse. "If we want to stop the real churn in the sector, people going to Australia and the loss of morale, the Government really does need to address this."

Some principals of small schools are being paid less than their deputies or senior teachers - and they fear the situation will put educators off stepping into senior roles.
Early childhood teachers from around 100 centres are striking this afternoon. Teachers that fall under the Early Childhood Education Collective Agreement are taking part. NZEI says negotiations have reached an impasse and the government's funding model isn't fit for purpose. Union representative and Capital Kids cooperative childcare centre manager, Megan White, told Mike Hosking that they're hopeful the incoming government will change things — which is why they're taking industrial action now. She says early childhood issues have been quiet for some time, and kids are the ones suffering. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Un subiect din tematica: „Hula împotriva Duhului Sfânt“. Majoritatea oamenilor care trăiesc astăzi pe planeta pământ sunt ne-mântuibili, chiar dacă mulți dintre ei sunt în așa-zisele state creștine. Cum a fost în zilele lui Noe, așa va fi și în zilele Fiului Omului: oamenii „mâncau, beau, se însurau şi se măritau până în ziua când a intrat Noe în corabie; şi a venit potopul şi i-a prăpădit pe toţi“.Lucrurile nu erau neapărat rele în ele însele, dar total greșite pentru că nu se raportau la singura realitate care contează: prezența lui Dumnezeu! Păcatul lor era „de omitere“, chiar dacă nu de comitere. Cel care nu-L bagă pe Dumnezeu în seamă, își taie singur craca de sub picioare. „Toți veți pieri la fel“ de fără sens ca și cei peste care a căzut turnul Siloamului ...Mesaj de încurajare și zidire spirituală, rostit de pastorul Daniel Brânzei.

The primary teachers union, NZEI, has received an offer from the Ministry of Education for primary school principals. Like secondary school teachers, most primary school principals have been arguing for more pay and better conditions. Education correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
After calling off a nationwide strike, primary teachers have a new pay offer to consider. The potential deal includes a $4,500 lump-sum payment, and three pay rises. NZEI members will consider the offer at meetings later today. Our education correspondent John Gerritsen spoke to Tim Watkin.
Secondary school teachers nationwide will be striking on March 29. Following that they are planning rolling strikes, where different year levels will not be taught on various days. The Post-Primary Teachers Association is in talks with the Ministry of Education over the offer of a $6000 pay rise offer over two years. The union is bargaining separately to NZEI - the primary teachers' union - but last week they held a joint strike. PPTA Te Wehengarua Acting President Chris Abercrombie talks to Lisa Owen.
