School decile ratings dumped - What are your thoughts?
Minister of Education Chris Hipkins has announced the school decile system will be dumped by 2022 and replaced with an equity index.
This will give funding based on students' needs, including ethnicity, parents' income, benefit support, parents' criminal history and Oranga Tamariki involvement.
Some Northland principals are happy with this decision, while others are concerned they'll lose money with the changes. What are your thoughts?
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
