The curriculum is shaping up to be a battlefield of education policies in this election with concerns about declining literacy and numeracy rates across New Zealand. New Zealand is not the only country that's having a look at maths and the way it's taught, in an article in the Atlantic Dr Brian Conrad, Stanford mathematics professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies, critiqued the teaching of maths in the state of California. He wrote that California is promoting an approach to maths

We thought we'd have a look at the different health policies from the various parties and get your thoughts on what would benefit you, your community, those you love the most. National announced yesterday that after birth hospital stays for mothers would be extended to three days, an extra 24 hours. That children and young people under 18 with type one diabetes would be provided free continuous glucose monitors, and that they would increase the number of training places for psychologists and

I think it's a little bit rich when you've got Chris Hipkins cancelling a debate because of Covid and people send him "best wishes" and "get well soon"s, instead of accepting the good wishes graciously and using the time to recover at home, out go attack ads saying Chris Luxon is a chicken for refusing to reschedule the debate. They offered to put up Kelvin Davis against Christopher Luxon, but that's hardly like for like is it? National said no, if it's going to be a battle of the deputies, sure,

National outplays Labour according to this year's rankings from business leaders. More than 100 CEOs and business leaders have ranked MPs in the Herald's Mood of the Boardroom survey. Luxon comes out on top with 3.24 out of five, compared to Chris Hipkins' 2.95. Jarden Managing Director and Co-Head of Investment Banking Silvana Schenone told Kerre Woodham that businesses are very concerned with the future because they will really need to plan for it.

I wanted to start by saying it is no secret that we're in the poo. As a country economically, and in Auckland and Wellington's case, quite literally in the poo as aging infrastructure fails and stormwater and sewage pipes collapse. Right now, Auckland city engineers are battling to deal with a tennis court sized sinkhole and sewage flowing into Waitemata Harbour. The third sinkhole they've had to deal with in as many months and there will be many, many more to come. There needs to be a major

2023/09/28

Last night's leaders' debate was vastly more entertaining than the first one. Was it a debate? Well, Sister Philippa, my old debating coach at Sacred Heart Girls College, wouldn't have seen it as a debate per say. I think it was more of a bit of infotainment. Chris Hipkins, the leader of Labour, showed up and heaven knows we love a politician who shows up. He no longer looked like a dead man walking like in the first debate. He looked like he didn't care, was over it, was going through the

2023/09/25

A little bit of politics, because we didn't really get a chance to talk about Christopher Luxon and David Seymour saying yes, okay, if we have to, we will work with New Zealand First. Commentators have got themselves into quite the lather over that. A sign of weakness, they were saying, being bullied by the media and all that sort of carry-on. And it's not often I agree with the leader of New Zealand First, but like him, I think that the only poll that really matters is the one on Election Day

Kerre Woodham: David Seymour is nothing if not pragmatic

Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast ·

2023/09/22

David Seymour and ACT are nothing if not pragmatists. After taking in the impact of the PREFU, the pre-election fiscal and economic update provided by the Government, Seymour has made some changes to ACT’s alternative budget, principally softening tax cuts to account for economic conditions. Previously, ACT had proposed a two tier tax system with a top rate of 28%. Now it's going to get there, but it'll get there slowly and via a three tier tax system with a top rate of 33%. So few figures here

2023/09/21

The economy grew 0.9 per cent in the second quarter, lifting the country out of recession and exceeding expectations. In fact, based on revisions to earlier numbers, the economy may not have been in a technical recession at all. GDP rose 3.2 per cent in the year ended June 2023. Strong net migration buoyed the numbers but the better than expected performance from sectors like manufacturing meant growth remained marginally positive even on a per capita basis. Economists had forecast New Zealand would

There was a spirited community meeting in the Coromandel township last night over recent gang violence. Locals called the emergency meeting after a video, obtained by Newstalk ZB, showed Rebel gang members attacking people in the town last weekend. Police say no complaints have been laid, but they're aware of three people receiving hospital treatment. National's Mark Mitchell was at that meeting and he said that the town is tired of the gang presence and are drawing a line in the sand. He said

I was really interested to hear the broad outline of ACT’s education policy goes a little further than National’s, but still with the aim of working towards a lift in New Zealand children's educational outcomes through rigour and testing. It includes standards for early childhood education providers because educators are concerned at the number of children arriving at school completely unprepared for the classroom. The littlest one in our house is due to start school in the next couple of months,

ACT is promising a huge shake-up to the education system. Its new education policy would crack down on ECE providers that don't teach children the basics. The B4 School Check would be extended to include education progress. Under ACT, the checks will make sure kids can read their name, know the alphabet, hold a pencil, pick up a book, and communicate thoughts and ideas. Dame Lesley Max, Co-Founder of the Great Potentials Foundation, told Kerre Woodham that an idea seems to have developed that

I know people are complaining that last night's debate between the leaders of Labour and National was boring. But seriously, give me a ‘let's get on with business, steady as she goes’ Prime Minister any day. I am sick and tired of 'rockstar razzle-dazzle' prime ministers who give up when the going gets tough, be they ‘ponytail pulling, catwalk modeling’ Prime ministers or ‘unicorn riding, fairy dust sprinkling, jazz hand waving’ Prime Ministers. Give me somebody solid, sensible, reliable, who

As you have heard in our news, a hikoi has begun from Northland to Parliament to oppose National and ACT’s gang policies and to highlight the negative impact those policies could have on the Whanau of gang members. The hikoi is also stopping off at marae and gang houses along the way to encourage people to vote (presumably not for National or ACT). The policies the hikoi organisers are concerned about include National’s proposal to make gang membership an aggravating factor at sentencing, with the

According to Act, drug addicts will face the prospect of losing their benefit if they refuse treatment or don't make more effort to find work. Act also wants to reduce the current number of 4000 people who receive the supported living payment because of stress. 70 percent of them have been receiving that payment for more than five years. ACT argues stress is a condition that can be treated over time, not a permanent incapacity. Act also says 4100 people receive a benefit because they're addicted
