Why New Zealand is Not an Equal Country
The metromag nz states that deciles dont matter — “They reflect nothing more than the income level in the students’ homes: the greater the wealth, the higher the decile.”
If this is the case then why did a student from a decile 4 school place top in the cambridge exams in the world last year and win a $100,000 scholarship to study at Cambridge University..
*Rebuttal point if they push that it is a reflection of quality educationDecile 4 Avondale College also produced the top Cambridge exams scholar in the world last year. He won a $100,000 scholarship and will soon be studying at Cambridge University.
New Zealand children do not get fair and equal access to educational opportunities. Our schools are increasingly separated on socio-economic and ethnic lines.
