A New Zealand Post Primary Teachers' Association / Te Wehengarua (PPTA) selection of prescriptions from the Vote Education Budget 2010 briefing papers published on the New Zealand Treasury website.
Vote Education - Prescription excerpts
Treasury has returned to all the policy prescriptions of the 1990s, bulk funding, performance pay, privatization and cost cutting and there is some evidence that the Minister of Finance supports the Treasury education agenda.
In many of the briefing papers there are more sections with deletions than text especially in relation to negotiations.
We are asking the Ombudsman to review some of the restrictions that are justified by a need to “protect the confidentiality of advice given by officials.”
