Open Letter To Education Minister From North Canterbury Principals' Association

Tēnā koe Minister,

The North Canterbury Principals' Association, representing 41 school leaders across our Waitaha communities, writes to you today to express our profound professional concern regarding the current pace, scale, and method of educational reform being mandated across Aotearoa.

Like our colleagues nationally, we are unified in our desire for a world class education system that lifts outcomes for all our tamariki. However, our commitment to this vision is being gravely undermined by a relentless wave of change. This change overload is pushing the capacity of tumuaki and kaiako to breaking point. It compromises our ability to provide high quality education and achieve sustainable, deep learning outcomes for all our tamariki.

In alignment with the New Zealand Principals' Federation (NZPF), we urge you to heed the united voice of principals across the motu. And to all of our colleagues in Aotearoa, Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui.

Nāku noa, nā,

North Canterbury Principals’ Association
