You sourced the 2009 budget, how did that compare to the 2012 budget?
@Indiana
Surely you remember the $114 million dollars of savings the National Government tried to claw from our high quality public education system by proposing increased class sizes in the 2012 budget?
The public outcry caused a back down, nevertheless it was the intention of the Government to cut frontline teacher jobs after promising ‘no frontline cuts’ during the election.
John Key needs the subsidies for his children and his friends in the Business Community and Government.
2008/09 Budget (Labour’s last)
Early Childhood Education: $897.5m
Primary Education: $2,342.2m
Secondary Education: $1,811.4m
2012/13 Budget (National’s most recent)
Early Childhood Education: $1,378.9m
Primary Education: $2,814.4m
Secondary Education: $2,066.3m
Inflation from Q2 2008 to Q2 2012: 10.1%
National has not cut the schools budget.
thanks.
Ddeleted comment : offensive. Darien
So the list Graeme has posted suggests education has had increased funding by National, so is the graphic wrong, misleading or both?. As i understand it public schools are funded as decile 10 and parents pay xtra as required. So if they were public schools the government would still be funding them to decile 10 level anyway, or worse the kids would be distributed around lwr decile schools and attract greater funding, thereby increasing gov costs.
so calling labour prpaganda lies is offensive….wot dickheads.time labour grew up man
no wonder you have lost touch with new zealanders that use a brain.long may you stay out of power…
So is it true or not ? Seems the evidence trumps the claims.
