Dame Lesley Max: Great Potentials Foundation Co-Founder on ACT's education policies

from Election 2023 · host Newstalk ZB

ACT is promising a huge shake-up to the education system.  Its new education policy would crack down on ECE providers that don't teach children the basics.  The B4 School Check would be extended to include education progress.  Under ACT, the checks will make sure kids can read their name, know the alphabet, hold a pencil, pick up a book, and communicate thoughts and ideas.  Dame Lesley Max, Co-Founder of the Great Potentials Foundation, told Kerre Woodham that an idea seems to have developed that the raising of children is done externally to the home.  She said that relying on external agencies to raise and guide our children is how we have wound up in the place that we’re in.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
