A question of whether charter schools can achieve better results than what's already possible at state schools. New annual reports show three of the seven charter schools that opened last year failed to meet attendance or achievement targets. Some did make significant gains, with Māori-Pasifika boys' boarding school Tipene nearly doubling reading expectations. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Francesca Rudkin state schools can deliver just as well for disengaged students. He says they're more equipped to deal with specific issues, with established networks and resources. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Education Minister wants higher pay rates for tradies who work as unqualified teachers - but she has to persuade the unions first. The PPTA says schools are in need of more people to teach the trades, and outside educators should be fully qualified if they're to be paid the same as registered teachers. Te Pūkenga CEO Gus Gilmore says it's important to attract the best people to educate young Kiwis interested in going into the trades and it's important to match market demand. "These are very experienced people.. the skills that they have as trained professionals in their field should be rewarded accordingly."

I dagens avsnitt av UFO-Sveriges dyker vi rakt ner i den senaste stornyheten från andra sidan Atlanten. Den amerikanska regeringen har precis offentliggjort en massiv samling på 162 dokument, bilder och videoklipp som tidigare varit strikt sekretessbelagda. Tobias Lindgren leder och Clas Svahn ger oss en bild av vad detta är för dokument. Är det början på den "totala transparens" som utlovats,  ser vi bara toppen av ett isberg täckt av maskningar eller är det bara gammal skåpmat?  Några snabbfakta om dokumenten (8 maj 2026): Totalt 162 filer har avhemligats, fördelat på PDF-dokument, videor och fotografier. Materialet kommer från en bred samverkan mellan Pentagon, FBI, NASA och det amerikanska utrikesdepartementet. Rapporterna täcker incidenter från 1940-talet ända fram till 2026, med observationer från platser som Japan, Syrien, Papua Nya Guinea och till och med månytan. Bland bilderna finns exempel som visar på oförklarade ljuspunkter och fenomen från Apolloprojektets olika resor till månen. Pentagon betonar att materialet rör fall där den amerikanska underrättelsetjänsten trots omfattande resurser inte har kunnat fastställa fenomenens natur. Fortsättning följer då detta bara sägs vara den första omgången av dokument. 

The Government has revealed the first part of its plan to replace NCEA, in what the Post Primary Teachers' union has called a “non-announcement”.

The Government's confirmed it's going ahead with scrapping the current NCEA system. Cabinet's agreed to an overhaul of secondary school qualifications - replacing NCEA with new subject-based assessments in Year 12 and Year 13. Education Minister Erica Stanford says consultation showed strong support for structural change. NCEA will be replaced with a new system with two levels over Years 12 and 13 There'll be subject-based assessment for Years 12 and 13 Removing NCEA Level 1 and replacing it with curriculum-driven learning in Year 11 A Foundational Award will be introduced in Year 11, recognising a students’ achievement in literacy and numeracy All Year 11 students will study English and Maths from 2028.  Today on The Front Page, PPTA president Chris Abercrombie is with us to dive into the detail, or lack thereof.

Students may be short changed by a lack of secondary school teachers. The latest Ministry of Education figures show a predicted shortfall of just over seven hundred high school teachers this year. Post Primary Teachers Association President Chris Abercrombie says the Ministry of Education's prediction that the gap will be filled by 2028 is overly optimistic. He says we need to take the politics out of teaching and get down to a solution with a long term plan for staffing. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As students head back to school this week, the Post-Primary Teachers Association is worried about hundreds of staff vacancies at schools around the country. According to the Ministry of Education, there are over 400 vacancies for school staff, including early childhood centres, primary, intermediate, and secondary schools. The PPTA says it means some high school teachers are being made to teach subjects they're not qualified in. PPTA president Chris Abercrombie spoke to Lisa Owen.

A spotlight on student achievement, with NCEA results now available nationwide. About 158 thousand Year 11 to 13 students can access their exam results, including Course Endorsements and University Entrance. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Andrew Dickens literacy and numeracy co-requisites are now incredibly important. He says students can't get NCEA without those, which has changed how schools operate. Students can also request a review or reconsideration from next month.

The PPTA says the popularity of school life skills and personal development classes reflects a shift in what students want from school - not just parents. Ministry of Education figures reveal nearly 68 thousand students enrolled in courses in this field in 2025 - up from about 49 thousand in 2021. PPTA President, Chris Abercrombie, told Andrew Dickens that parents are more aware of their children's goals. He says students are less likely to take subjects because they're told to - and more likely to choose courses matching their own aspirations.

Teachers say they're struggling to deal with increasing violent incidents due to a lack of learning support. New data shows 12,300 students have been disciplined for physical assault on teachers and students this year – a 49% jump from 2019. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Francesca Rudkin teachers have been given increasingly more restraint training to deal with these incidents, but the main problem is with students' unmet needs. He says our children are coming to school with complex needs, a lot involving mental health issues. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Education Minister's pleased to see secondary school teachers vote yes for their new collective agreement. PPTA members have accepted the Government's offer, which includes a 4.6% pay increase over two years and a million dollar a year fund for professional development. Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking it's a good resolution and she's happy for teachers. She says they've worked hard to raise achievement and close the equity gap, and they deserve the pay rises they're getting over the next two years.

Post Primary Teachers' Association (PPTA) members voted to accept the Governments recent pay offer, officially bringing an end to the striking... for now. The settlement includes a 4.6 percent pay increase over two years, and increased allowances for teachers who have management roles or other special responsibilities. PPTA president Chris Abercrombie told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "we're pleased that we're going to be able to start the new year in a settled environment."

Hopes a nationwide maths pilot can continue to deliver results. The $40 million Government programme targeted 1,500 Year 7 and 8 students needing extra support, through small-group tutoring up to four times a week. New data shows students averaged one to two years progress in 12 weeks. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie told Ryan Bridge the focus on core skills like maths never stopped, but this is a new way of doing it. He says one of the issues with intense focus is that it's resource-heavy, which is fine as long as it can continue. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unions have voiced disappointment over the Education Minister's plan to remove school board Treaty requirements. Erica Stanford intends to scrap a clause under which boards must reflect local tikanga in the curriculum - and teach te reo Māori. The PPTA labelled it another step in the Government's apparent drive to take the country back 50 years NZ School Boards Association President, Meredith Kennett, says putting it in legislation ensures school policies consider the history of children and their whanau. "Allow us to connect with local iwi - and making sure that this school is fit for purpose for our children, because our children need to belong. And if they don't feel like they do, then they won't achieve." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Okay, I've got a question for you - and this is a genuine question, it's not a rhetorical question. Do you agree with the teachers' unions that it's an outrage that Erica Stanford is taking the Treaty obligation out of the Education Act, or do you agree with Erica Stanford that it needs to come out? Now, I'm asking you this question because I honestly cannot understand why the teachers' unions are causing uproar over this, because it seems to me to be a clear case that this should come out. It hasn't helped lift Māori achievement in the five years it's been in the legislation. In fact, going by just one metric, which is the proportion of Māori students leaving school with no NCEA qualification at all, it's getting worse. It was 24 percent in 2021, it's now nearly 28 percent at last count. So if this thing isn't helping, then it shouldn't be there - because all it is then is just virtue signalling and distracting schools when they should be, as the minister said, laser-focused on educating kids. So this is where I ask my question - because this is where I get confused. If it doesn't have to be in there, then why are the unions picking this fight? Why are they fighting for yet another pet ideological project? Did they not learn from the allergic reaction that parents had to the news that the number one thing on the PPTA's agenda for the meeting with the minister was Palestine? That went down like a cup of cold sick. Is it not obvious to the unions that they are losing the patience of parents who've already had a guts-full of an education system that isn't educating their kids - and the teacher unions making excuses for it, and the teacher unions not wanting to have to do more work? So it's one of two things that's going on here for me, right? Either teacher unions really just cannot help themselves when it comes to yet another political distraction and a chance to give a National Party a bloody nose, or they know something that I don't - which is that there is enormous support out there for them fighting the good fight on the Treaty obligation for the boards of trustees. Is that happening? Am I missing something here? Is there massive support out there for teachers who are fighting this? Or are they burning parents' goodwill because they can't help themselves yet again fighting with a National-led Government? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last Thursday was the largest protest New Zealand has had for decades, a combined strike across multiple public sector groups including PSA members and PPTA members. It certainly sent a message, but that message depends on who you ask. While many sympathise with the issues the public sector is facing, many have also dubbed it 'the start of a five day weekend' for teachers.

PPTA President Chris Abercrombie spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss about an open letter issued by the government ahead of mega strike action.

An estimated 100,000 workers are set to go on strike this coming Thursday, despite warnings from the Public Service Minister. Judith Collins has penned a letter to New Zealanders claiming the planned industrial action is 'unfair' and 'unwarranted'. PPTA president Chris Abercrombie has responded to Judith Collins's critique of unions being political by saying - of course they are. "Well, we're dealing with the Government, so it has to be political. The Government makes the decisions about NCEA, they make the decisions about curriculum, they make decisions about AI marking - they make all these decisions. So it has to be political."

The Public Service Commissioner is questioning whether the PPTA is committed to reaching a deal - saying it's choosing disruption over dialogue. Sir Brian Roche spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

On today's show, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss for his weekly interview, the Public Service Commissioner is questioning whether the PPTA is committed to reaching a deal, former Labour leader Andrew Little has been voted Wellington's new mayor by a landslide, and Jacquie Grant looks set to be voted mayor of Westland at the age of 81.

There's growing push-back on the idea that children should be censored at school, as extremism spreads. PPTA members are seeing misogyny spread through the classroom, and they're putting it down to a 'toxic online culture of masculinity'. The union wants to make addressing online extremism an official policy, and is calling for Government action. Free Speech Union CEO Jillaine Heather says it's hard to stop children picking up new ideas different to their parents' views. "What you want to do, if you disagree with those ideas, is engage with them. Engage in counter-speech, dismantle the ideas, test them, get them to bring their receipts. You can't censor those ideas, surely." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the Post-Primary Teachers Association marked the roll at its annual conference in Christchurch today there was a notable absentee - Education Minister Erica Stanford. The excuse she gave for pulling out of a speech this afternoon didn't go down well in a room awash with talk of industrial action, scrapping NCEA, subject changes and teacher shortages. Keiller MacDuff reports.

There's a belief there's more that needs to be done to smooth immigration processes in New Zealand. The Government's revealed two new pathways for skilled migrants to secure Kiwi residency. One is for skilled work experience and another for trades and technicians. Immigration Minister Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking there's a lot more announcements to come, but they're often held up by IT changes. She says they're working on a start-up visa while more needs to be done in the RSE space, and there's a whole list of other things. Stanford's also standing by her decision to miss the PPTA's annual conference in Christchurch. The Education Minister had been scheduled to speak to the secondary teachers union yesterday for months but abruptly cancelled due to an 'unavoidable clash.' She told Hosking it was because the Prime Minister's office gave her a date for yesterday's skilled workers' announcement in Auckland. She says authorities also advised her it wasn't the best time to give a speech due to the ongoing pay bargaining. Stanford adds she is frequently meeting with the PPTA, and this is the first conference she's had to miss. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian Roche says the pay offer to teachers -which includes a 4.7 percent pay rise over 12 months - was a very good one. PPTA president Chris Abercrombie told Heather du-Plessis Allan that teachers have many sticking points with the latest offer. But he won't say exactly how many teachers supported the strike.

A teachers union says a high school curriculum overhaul lacks detail, despite its far-reaching implications. Year 11 to 13 students will soon be able to take subjects like politics, philosophy, Pacific Studies, Music Technology, and journalism. PPTA president Chris Abercrombie spoke to Corin Dann.

Recent pay offers to teachers are seen by the Public Service Commissioner as entirely reasonable. Primary teachers decided to reject its latest offer, while PPTA members are voting on the revised one. It includes increasing the number of days secondary teachers can be called back to work outside of term time. Commissioner Sir Brian Roche told Mike Hosking they have the ability to call them back for 10 more days a year, which is what's being asked. He says they're getting paid for this and just want teachers to be available for career development when students aren't at school. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The secondary school teachers union is confident its members will take its advice and reject the Government's latest agreement offer. It almost doubles the pay increase included in their last offer, but the union says it's unevenly spread across the teaching workforce and sits below inflation. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie says teachers can vote any way they want, but the National Executive's recommending sending the offer back. "The conversations I have this year with teachers and continue to have is that this doesn't meet what they need - what they see happening every single day in schools."

Secondary teachers aren't backing down from their fight for better pay. Thousands of teachers walked off the job today and picketed across the country. They say a proposed one percent pay rise is actually a cut in real terms - and concerns on staffing, professional development and support aren't addressed. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie says he hopes that'll be the end of action, and the Government will come to the table. He says Minister Erica Stanford's signalled interest in improvement.

A report from the Office of the Auditor-General - as reported in the Post - has discovered 54 schools were questioned for “sensitive” spending with no apparent educational benefit.

Chapter Two: Recognizing the Energy Around YouThis week we dive into the book, Personal Power Through Awareness. In this early chapter, we learn energy makes up everything around us and we can learn to sense that energy. In order to be able to sense energy and work with it, we cultivate a relaxed stance in the world. Orin offers the technique of making your mind go blank, or turn it into a white screen, in order to reset your energy if you are in a distressing situation or encounter feelings you would like to change. We practice using our imagination to visualize a rose, to recognize we already have the skill we need to begin working with energy.After our breath practice, we do a meditation by Robert Peng, a Qigong master, to notice our inner and outer senses. https://www.robertpeng.com/Get the Book!
