Sent in by a reader. To be fair to the PPTA they are not that anti-national standards – that is more the NZEI and NZPF. But I do wish they would spend more time on areas of agreed priority such as raising teacher quality, than trying to stop parents and students have choice.

DPF states, “…spend more time on areas of agreed priority such as raising teacher quality…”
A quick Google search reveals PPTA have spent some time on this exact issue……

Perhaps the government and ministry could show more interest in the area of teacher quality.
