Erica Stanford: Education Minister 'surprised' by backlash to Limited Authority to Teach rule changes

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Newstalk ZB - Keskiviikkoisin

The Education Minister's backing her changes for relief teachers, despite criticism. Erica Stanford's loosening up the Limited Authority to Teach rules to address shortages - including covering their costs and allowing experts who aren’t qualified teachers and previously registered teachers to work as relievers. PPTA President Chris Abercrombie says the change will flood classrooms with unregistered relievers. Stanford says she was surprised there was opposition. "There are a whole bunch of incredible teachers out there - they don't forget how to teach. And actually, when we've got a real need right now, we've got Orewa College and other colleges rostering home kids - that's the alternative."
