Government funding cuts hit the Ministry of Education

First they shuffle the money out of PD into National Standards, and perhaps out of the Behaviour Action Plan/Special Education into Truancy action, now job losses

Apparently this will mean the Ministry will be more efficient,  and less bureaucratic  

Possibly the same logic that says cuts to staffing in schools will allow schools more flexibility?


Youth guarantee

Posted by: PPTAweb

Guarantee - limited time only – for a limited number of lucky applicants.  Guaranteed that you can be part of an experiment that will provide you with a place in a tertiary institution that may or may not be of your choice, may or may not be in the area of training you thought you were interested in (but there are lots of hospitality and hairdressing options) and you may or may not have to turn up once selected for this opportunity.
