It is ACT's view that the sooner we make these changes, the sooner we can direct our attention towards addressing the real issues, such as New Zealand's education crisis. The fact that students' performance on objective international tests has been plummeting all century, in addition to the fact that barely 60 percent of our children are attending school regularly, is the real crisis, and that is the issue that requires our urgent attention. So ACT will support this bill to the first reading.
