The New Zealand Principals Federation yesterday passed a vote of no confidence...
This news story slipped passed me over the weekend. Maybe it was because we kinda feel like we’ve been here before. It would have been bigger news had Mrs Tolley been sacked as a result, like in Wall Street. But the fact that the ‘top people’ in the sector have no faith in the minister seems to not matter one jot.
Robin Duff said it best at the bottom of the article, saying...
“He said there would always be differences on contentious issues in the education sector, but it was important to maintain open communication.”With so little meaning in the gesture I wonder what purpose it serves to say it again.
- Was anyone aware of the vote result?
- Was it truly unanimous?
- If it were, does it hold more weight?
- Does the fact she knows HOW unpopular she is have any weight the minister?
- Does it normally have much weight with any MP?
National Standards continue to be unpopular with the sector. I get that. But, are they unpopular with the electorate as a whole? I doubt it.
