NCEA poll

June 1, 2013

The Herald reports:

In a survey by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research, 54 per cent of parents said they supported the framework.

“It’s the first time parental support has risen above 50 per cent in the survey series and it was higher among parents with a child in the senior school,” said Rosemary Hipkins, who wrote the survey report.

The survey last year of 177 principals, 1,266 teachers and 1,477 parents also found that 95 per cent of principals and 69 per cent of teachers supported the system.
