Our PM says that she cares passionately about a quality education to help priority learners such as Decile 1-3 pupils

BUT

even though according to their contracts Partnership schools have to have at least 75% priority learners she is going to close all their schools.

Our PM claims to care passionately about minorities and their needs

BUT

She is going to close Partnership schools that are doing such a great job catering to Maori and Pasifika students that they have long waiting lists.

Partnership Schools were established to serve New Zealand’s priority learners who often come from deprived families. These are students that mainstream education has failed, and Jacinda Ardern and Chris Hipkins are now telling priority learners and deprived families that they are going to close the schools that are leading them to success.

Our PM claims to be intent on addressing social and economic deprivation yet she is determined to force these students and their families back to mainstream education which is the education system that failed them in the first place.

Jacinda Ardern only passionately cares about deprived children in poverddy when they are in a union controlled environment. Her message to Partnership schools this Christmas is a very simple one.
