Submission on Education and Training Amendment Bill (No 2)

Submission on Education and Training Amendment Bill (No 2)

The NZCTU is concerned by the following elements of this Bill:  

  • There is a no mandate for the scale of the changes set out in the Bill.
  • The proposed change to the structure of school board objectives is unnecessary and may be damaging.
  • The extension of the strike notification to 7 days is unjustified and breaches teachers’ industrial rights.
  • Changes to freedom of expression are unnecessary and risk political interference in university independence.
