This week’s hot topic: National Standards

With school charters and national standards information due tomorrow there is much concern over the issue. The vast majority of schools will be delivering results to the Ministry. There are however, a few hundred schools from around the country which are  refusing to hand over the information.

Whether you are of the opinion that National Standards will raise achievement across the country and add in a layer of accountability that was lacking. Or think that National Standards endangers the flexibility in the curriculum and compromises the enjoyment of education. The fact remains that this issue continues to be a 'hot button topic'.
