The second thing is we won't make any progress if we're not measuring academic progress in any way, shape, or form. Nothing in the Budget about that. There's lots of money, however, for the Ministry of Education to spend on consultants and all that sort of stuff around the curriculum review. Yes, the curriculum does need to be reviewed. NCEA has been dumbed down over the years and we need some rigour back in there, but I'm deeply concerned that the changes proposed will make it even worse. We've done away with accounting and economics at NCEA level 1 and I'm sure there'll be a lot more to come.
