Best wishes for the festive season

Dear Reader,

Thank you for subscribing to Subtext. We have enjoyed bringing you the latest in education news and policy critiques this year and trust that it has been useful and informative.

It has been a busy and successful year for the Education Forum. From the release in February of Who Should Pay?, Norman LaRocque's study of tertiary education financing, right through to the recent launch of A New Deal, our manifesto for secondary education, we have worked hard to keep high the profile of better ways of educating New Zealanders.

We plan to do the same next year with more well-researched and persuasive argument. Subtext will be an important tool in that debate.

Our first edition for 2004 will be in February following one month off in January. If you have any particular topics you think people might like to read about in our newsletter, let us know by emailing us at info@educationforum.org.nz.

In the meantime, best wishes for the fast-approaching festive season and the New Year. Have a relaxing break and see you again in 2004.

Regards,

John Morris
Chairman, Education Forum
