PPTA to present case for inquiry into technology

PPTA to present case for inquiry into technology curriculum

PPTA will be making a submission before the Education and Science Select Committee into the staffing, resourcing and delivery of the technology curriculum in New Zealand schools.

Business NZ will be making a joint presentation.

It follows the release last November of PPTA’s focus group research and survey of technology teachers that details a multitude of concerns about the technology curriculum, the subject’s status in schools, the inadequacy of resources and facilities to teach technology and the difficulty schools face recruiting and retaining qualified technology teachers.
