Ministry seeking schools for more than 100 excluded children

Principals get legal opinion on requiring to enrol expelled students

But principals said that was a problem if there was no good support in place - and they commissioned a legal opinion to back them up. The Principals Federation released that legal opinion today. The review, by Quigg Partners, said: A school should never be put in a position by virtue of a direction which results in the school being prevented from carrying out its primary obligations. When a school finds itself in such a position, we consider that the school would have strong grounds to have the direction judicially reviewed.

Principals want overhaul of initial teacher education

Principals want overhaul of initial teacher education John Gerritsen © RNZ/ Dan Cook Principals are calling for an overhaul of initial teacher education, because some newly qualified primary teachers are ill-prepared to teach basic subjects like reading and maths. The Principals Federation, the Educational Institute, and the Normal and Model School Association told RNZ many new graduates had studied how to be a teacher for just one year and that was not enough. They said recent Teaching Council changes to the requirements that teacher education courses must meet would help, but more needed to be done. The Normal and Model School Association represented 29 schools specially funded to work with teacher education providers and their students. Its president, Stuart Armistead, said members were worried by what they were seeing.
