Education Minister Erica Stanford and Associate Minister David Seymour put out a press release last Friday accusing the Post Primary Teachers Association of disrupting students’ learning.
The press release continues that the PPTA is prioritising ideology over students, and that the meetings create a poor example.
Stanford says “We can’t expect students to value the importance of education and attendance when adults walk off the job.”
To address these claims, Wire host Castor spoke to president of the PPTA, Chris Abercrombie, about the press release and the PPTA’s concerns for teaching in Aotearoa.
Oto spoke to Professor of Māori studies at the University of Auckland - Margaret Mutu of Ngāti Kahu, Te Rarawa and Ngāti Whātua descent, to discuss the treaty principles bill and why it generated such a strong reaction from those in attendance at the Hīkoi.
Margaret is an expert on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and says that ACT’s treaty principles bill would reinterpret Te Tiriti in a way that would undermine the rights of Māori and tangata whenua.
