Headmaster of Auckland Grammar ROASTS NZ Education #nz #shorts

July 06, 202500:51
00:00:00
The problem in our education system is
00:00:01
the adults are turning soft. I actually
00:00:03
think this generation is better than we
00:00:05
ever were. They're clever. They have
00:00:07
high EQ. They actually want to
00:00:09
contribute. They just actually have to
00:00:11
be taught by us, the adults. And I
00:00:13
actually think the biggest problem are
00:00:14
actually us, the adults. Typically, the
00:00:16
Ministry of Education create more
00:00:18
hassles for us. I don't think they
00:00:19
actually support schools at all very
00:00:21
well. They're just pain in the neck. I
00:00:22
would disestablish the ministry. our
00:00:24
education, the NCA system at the moment,
00:00:26
kids are gaming because we put a system
00:00:29
in place that allows them to game. So,
00:00:30
it's actually the adults that are
00:00:31
problem, not the students. I would
00:00:33
change NCA back to a norm reference
00:00:35
system. I'd put UEIE a university
00:00:37
entrance back into the hands of
00:00:39
universities. We should be taking this
00:00:41
in. Yeah, they're engaged. What do you
00:00:42
wish parents understood better about
00:00:44
their teenage sons?
00:00:46
Um,
