Chris Hipkins: Labour Party leader on what the opposition can learn from NCEA changes situation

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

Labour's leader believes lessons can be learnt from a lack of communication from his party on NCEA changes. Education Minister Erica Stanford reached out to Labour's education spokeswoman Willow-Jean Prime at least three times, asking for her input on the changes but she failed to respond.  Following the announcement, Labour criticised the Government's minimal cross party consultation.  Leader Chris Hipkins says Willow-Jean has learned a lot from this. "The key thing now is that we do need cross-party collaboration to make sure that the changes to the NCEA are enduring." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
