We want all students to reach their full potential. National will work in partnership with students to give them the incentive they need to achieve excellence. National wants secondary school qualifications to earn entitlement to tertiary education and training, currently funded through the EFTS system. From Year 11 students in secondary schools will earn their entitlement to state funded education they will be able to set their sights on what they want and their parents will be able to see them achieving it. I have given you a few paragraphs from the next chapter of Tomorrow s Schools.
Education is the key to the future of our nation.
National wants to light a fire in the minds of all young New Zealanders. Labour seems intent on putting them out. This Government is setting down a path of eroding the content and worth of school qualifications in New Zealand. With that attitude, New Zealand will never move up the global wealth stakes. Committing to those key principles in education will again see New Zealanders as world-beaters.
