End Of Term For Kāhui Ako – Time To Expel This Failed Scheme
On the news the Government is considering scrapping the $118 million-a-year Kāhui Ako (Communities of Learning) scheme.
Taxpayers’ Union Spokesman James Ross said:
“Kāhui Ako was supposed to be a revolution in school collaboration. Instead, it has shown to be a taxpayer-funded teachers’ lounge—complete with bonuses, busywork, and not a single meaningful improvement in student achievement to show for it.”
“In 2023, just 22 percent of Year 8 students met the expected standard in Maths, and only 47 percent in Reading. If Kāhui Ako were a student, it’d be repeating the year.”
“Redirecting that $118 million to learning support for kids is something taxpayers can get behind.”
“Minister Stanford’s flicked to the
right chapter. Now it’s time to slam the workbook shut,
expel Kāhui Ako once and for all, and invest in something
that actually
works."
