Principal Work Ban Strike with Lynda Stuart: 24 April, 2023

This week marks the start of the second term of the school year for students across Aotearoa. 

For education staff it means a return to roles that are often undervalued in our society. 

An often under represented group in education reform action, principals across the country have started a work-ban this week. 

The ban seeks to highlight the work Principals do and to garner some recognition from the ministry of education. 

Nicholas Lindstrom sat down with Lynda Stuart, lead negotiator for the New Zealand Institute of Education about the work-ban and how the government can better support principals.
