Ministry of Education Cuts in Perspective.
NZH reports 565 positions to go.
4,509 – 565 = 3,944 remaining employed.
3,944 – 2,700 (in 2017) = 1,244 to get back to pre-Labour (Hipkins) level.
While it is hard for people to lose positions many of the new roles since 2017 have done little or nothing to help the children of NZ get a better education. If fact – the attendance and success of those students – has moved inversely to the willy-nilly employment strategies of Iona Holstead and her Deputy Secretaries.
I haven’t seen it announced that Holsted (and her off-siders) have accepted responsibility for both the dire situation with the education system and the fact that 565 have been shown the door.
There is little integrity if the top 12 have not fallen on their envelope openers and allowed Stanford and Seymour to bring in good people and bring the system change that our children, families, society and economy desperately needs.
