PPTA Running Desperate Campaign Against Partnership Schools
PPTA Running a Desperate Campaign Against Partnership Schools
"The PPTA is misguided. Epsom
is blessed with wonderful schools" said ACT Epsom candidate
David Seymour.
"We believe that Epsom voters want good
schools for their children, and for all children in New
Zealand."
"Partnership Schools allow for passionate and
talented educators to engage with kids who would otherwise
fail."
"One such Partnership School is the South
Auckland Middle School. It is the brainchild of Alwyn and
Karen Poole, who run independent Mt Hobson Middle School in
this electorate" said Mr Seymour.
"Under the
Partnership School model, they have taken their model of
education from Remuera to Manurewa so that more children can
attend a good school. It is sad that the PPTA feels
threatened by such initiatives."
"We know that the children going to the five partnership schools are thrilled with the advantages they get from these schools. I believe every child should be able to access a good school, but currently New Zealand is failing its most vulnerable students." said Mr Seymour.
"I am very proud of our
achievements through Partnership Schools Kura Hourua said Mr
Seymour, ACT Candidate for Epsom.
“I look forward to
going to Wellington to expand the partnership program and
give the opportunity to attend better schools to more New
Zealanders” said Mr
Seymour.
