The next question is what does the Minister believe is the Government's strategy to start getting value for money in terms of achievement? If we look at Progress in International Reading Literacy Study, TIMSS, Programme for International Student Assessment, any sort of standard global comparison, not only are New Zealand students less able in English, maths, and science—or at least in reading, mathematics, and science—than they were at the start of the century, they've been declining in almost every test that's been taken by New Zealand students for 20 years, and yet this is at a time when expenditure on education in each of these Estimates every year has continued to go up each and every time. So I think people would be interested to know: is it a priority of the Government to ensure that reading, mathematics, scientific literacy are actually important priorities; and if it is, what are they doing to ensure that New Zealand's performance starts to improve again so we get closer to where we were at the beginning of the century when we actually spent less money and got better results?
