Who Should Pay?

 

 
 

The Education Forum has been formed to contribute to education policy through research and debate on the current issues, structures and expectations at all levels of New Zealand education.

The Education Forum believes that New Zealand education requires an approach to learning and achieving which encourages all individuals to reach their full potential, and which will take New Zealand to the leading edge of international performance and achievement.

The principles of the Education Forum include:

  • A commitment to excellence and high expectation in all human endeavour, based on a lifelong desire for learning.

  • The teaching of values and life skills which will preserve the dignity of the individual and the integrity of the family.

  • The acceptance of healthy competition for both individuals and the education sector.

  • The encouragement of cooperation, creativity, adaptability and enterprise.

  • The encouragement and recognition of personal responsibility, goal setting and achievement in all endeavours, through self discipline and hard work.

  • The promotion of a New Zealand cultural identity.

  • The key involvement and responsibility of parents in their children's education.

  • The emphasis on the value of parental choice and the self-management of education institutions.

  • The development of closer links between education institutions and industry
