Failing to correct statements in the House is clearly serious – but the real crime of Tinetti is following up on Hipkins driving education into the ground.

Tinetti (or her office … of whom she is supposed to be in charge) are clearly in some trouble re delaying the release of Term 3 2022 school data. Clearly still out to lunch – when she released the Term 4 2022 data she announced :improvement” as it had blipped slightly about 50% of students fully attending – which is actually due to many schools marking students on exam leave as being present – whether they were attending before that or not.

It should also be noted for T4 2022 approx. five hundred schools didn’t submit data. It is not actually compulsory for them to do so – -for reasons I cannot begin to fathom. Of the 1,985 schools that did submit 249 nine reported less than 30% fully attending. Tinetti deserves the sack for sheer incompetence.
