So when I look ahead 40 years, it makes me gravely concerned that there are still thousands of New Zealand schoolchildren who, despite being in an education system which has had billions of dollars poured into it, are less likely today to get the skills they need to succeed than they were a decade ago. That is the sort of issue that a Minister of Finance who really cares about future generational equity will be focused on. We simply must lift the capability of New Zealand students, and that requires a different approach to education policies in our schools.
