New Zealand Literacy Rates w/ Dr. Nina Hood: March 24, 2022.

A 2020 report from UNICEF revealed that over a third of fifteen year olds in New Zealand struggle with basic reading and writing.

Not-for-profit think-tank The Education Hub has compiled research from multiple studies to paint the picture of how dire the situation is in New Zealand schools right now in a report titled "Now I Don't Know My ABC: The Perilous State of Literacy in Aotearoa New Zealand".

Emilia Sullivan spoke to Dr. Nina Hood, founder of The Education Hub and co-author of the report.
