Increased spending won t fix Kiwi students academic decline

Increased spending won t fix Kiwi students academic decline - report Newshub 1/03/2021 Dan Satherley © Video - The AM Show; Images - Getty/The AM Show/NZ Initiative David Law on The AM Show. A new look into what s going wrong with New Zealand s education system says it s unlikely we ll be able spend our way out of the problem. Over the past 15 years Kiwi kids academic performance has fallen behind their international peers, despite rising NCEA pass rates. The decline shows up in three different surveys - the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). For example, last year 13-year-olds scored their worst-ever results in TIMSS; and in 2019 Kiwi 15-year-olds had their worst-ever PISA results in reading, maths and science.

Ministry of Education to monitor modern classroom noise

Photo: 123RF Some teachers and parents don t like the open-plan classroom blocks known as modern or flexible learning environments and independent post-occupancy assessments of the buildings have relied heavily on staff and student surveys. Now the ministry will use electronic equipment to monitor new builds and provide hard data on their performance. The principal of a recently-constructed school, Heath McNeil from Ormiston Primary School in Auckland, said electronic monitoring was a good move. These are large commercial buildings and we need to know how they re performing for the learners and for the educators that are going to be inside of them because we ve had such an explosion of these types of buildings probably over the last decade at least, he said.

Test or invest? NZ s sliding international student assessment rankings are all about choices

Recent news about New Zealand’s declining position in international educational assessment rankings has been treated as if it is a new phenomenon requiring drastic changes to the school system. But some suggested solutions, such as the Principals Federation’s call for greater involvement by the Ministry of Education in curriculum decisions, seem simplistic. Problems in education are more complex and relate to the relationship of schooling to society in general. It’s worth noting that when these international large-scale assessments (e.g. PISA and TIMSS) were first deployed in the 1990s, New Zealand scored in the top five or 10 of all participating countries at year 5, year 8 and year 11. Since then scores have fallen to the middle of the pack, although slightly above average.

Photo: 123RF It has commissioned the country s top science body, the Royal Society, to investigate the maths curriculum and the best ways of teaching the subject. The ministry said it would also make the maths curriculum clearer and give teachers more help to teach it. It announced the moves after the Principals Federation said there appeared to be no leadership, despite years of falling national and international test scores in maths and science.
